If you are interested in recording mammals, reptiles, amphibians and/or butterflies in the parish please use the Non-birds Recording Form 2015.
-
This form is simpler than the Bird Recording Forms as we are just interested in the squares in which the different species are recorded, irrespective of month and numbers.
-
Just enter a ‘P’ for presence in the appropriate cell of the form
-
An added comment will be useful for the more unusual records.
-
Also add comments if you have identified the actual species of bat, mouse, shrew, vole or newt.
-
Blank spaces are also available for any additional species.
-
Note that for some of these groups you may not actually see the animal alive, but will rely on road-kills and other corpses, or signs such as otter spraints, other poo, badger sets, mole hills, deer tracks, sloughed snake skins, frog spawn, etc.
-
There's a useful ID guide by Butterfly Conservation at the Big Butterfly Count web site. Note, however, that the guide doesn't include several species you may well see in the parish - eg silver-washed fritillary, small heath, orange tip, small skipper.
