Getting there...
I've just moved into a new house in the Loxley Valley in Sheffield. Since the beginning of May I've seen 57 species within a two hour walk from my house. Here's the list so far, and I'll keep adding new ones when they crop up.
A * denotes I've seen them in my garden, a ** denotes I've seen them outside the garden but from the house window.
