Summary
editDescriptionLarge Yellow Underwing, Noctua pronuba (20325748541).jpg |
Since 1852 in the UK there has been a network of wildlife recording schemes. Traditionally these were county based but increasingly they are now moving online. Six months ago I started using the NatureSpot website to record my observations of wildlife in VC55 - Leicestershire and Rutland. I've just had my 500th species verified*, this Large Yellow Underwing moth in my garden, not rare but still important - probably a significant part of the diet of the bats I see from my window. Wildlife recording has given my photography more purpose, and I'm basking in the warm glow of citizen science derived from something I love doing. I've learned so much in just a few months and it has deepened my enjoyment of the countryside, and even suburban environments. But it's not all sunshine and light - there is a tension between high quality/arty photography and recording as much as possible. I frequently snap away with I.D. shots so that I can identify things later, and then am disappointed at the quality of the photos when I get home. I need to find the correct balance on this, which is probably going to mean separating photography trips from recording trips (which will still involve photography). And I need to make the whole process sustainable so I can carry on without burning out - or more likely spluttering out in the dark depths of February. Wildlife recording is a game that anyone can play wherever you may be in the UK, though the iRecord website, or even internationally through iSpot. But be warned - it's addictive. Here's to the next 500.
