Results of this bioblitz were assembled months ago. I did mention in the September 2015 issue of GNS news that they will be published on this website. I have been busy in the meantime but unfortunately this slipped my mind. So thank you Maris for the reminder!

As you can see we didn’t quite make the 700 species. The persistent rain on the second day dramatically reduced recording effort.
Here’s the full list:

Just as a reminder: there will be another bioblitz at Crickley Hill, the new Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust reserve and SSSI from Friday 8th to Saturday 9th of July. Here’s hoping for optimum conditions to hit a realistic target!
