[QUOTE="lazza, post: 3244251, member: 105406"] Well, this is certainly a lot harder than anticipated...and I didn't think it was going to be easy! At the half-way point of the year, I am at a rather pathetic 355 species. It's proving a lot more difficult than expected for two reasons: 1. My inability to identify an awful lot of what I find, especially those classes where I have no experience and a lot of knowledge is needed to differentiate similar species (such as mosses, ferns, grasses, most insects!!!) 2. The constant overwhelming onslaught of new species (or possible new species) turns a pleasant country cycle ride into a stop-start, exhausting effort of attempted identification and phone-photography! Nevertheless, it's been very enlightening so far, and the species lists are: Alga and Chromists: 9 species Amphibians: 3 species Annelids: 2 species Birds: 127 species Fish species: 2 species! Crustacean: 9 species Echinoderm: 2 species Flowering plants: 124 species Fungi: 6 species Horsetail: 3 species Insect: 40 species Mollusc: 11 species Moss: 2 species Spider: 3 species Springtail: 1 species Mammal: 11 species [/QUOTE]
