Dalgety Bay - end of September in round numbers

An amazing amount of round numbers involved in late September. I had my 150th beetle, my 100th arachnid and reached 1330 species for the square while moving to position 40 in the PSL rankings. It was a way better run than I expected and included a first-for-Scotland flat-footed fly (Lindneromyia dorsalis) confirmed this morning. October includes school holidays so it will be a quieter month. At least in theory.

(I actually managed to forget I saw a Peregrine Sunday morning. Add one to all totals below!)
