Over the line

Its taken a couple of weeks to get the last few but now on 1002.
The totals by groups were as follows; Mammals 12, Birds 65, Amphibians 3, Fish 1, Odonata 13, Orthoptera 7, Hemiptera 34, Butterflies 22, Moths 218, Coleoptera 33, Hymenoptera 47, Diptera 54, Insects RSO 4, Molluscs 19, Spiders 19, Crustacea 6, Annelids 5, Plants 303, Bryophytes 24, Fungi 81, Slime moulds 1, and Lichen 31.

Very pleased to have finally got there and will keep adding a few until the end of the year. But mostly now planning to smash this total next year!

Grassland fungi still way down on last year - due to the drought? - so could still add a few there. And this weeks photo is of another sort of fungus.

  2. Bravo buddy! I'm firstly very pleased for you and secondly ridiculously happy that no sooner do you hit the Big 1K than you plan to smash it next year! Top fella, great effort. 'Marvellous', in fact :D

    1. A nice end to a very good year, marvellous indeed. Would be nice to kick the red number on a few more before the end of the year, another 14 would be great.
      Finally remember to get in touch if you are likely to be in Dorset/Scillies next year - so I can book my foreign holiday for those dates obviously!

  5. Wahey! Blooming marvellous :) I'm already itching to get going for next year. Nothing like a fresh page and a new list to get the juices flowing

    1. Exactly right Ali. However I hope there will be more than just me and you!

    2. I'll do two squares so we can pretend to be 3! Maybe Seth can be persuaded to venture into a new square ...
