The Results are in. Well done Nottingham!

Over the weekend 2828 observations were made in Nottingham, including 744 different
species, narrowly beating the city’s 2020 record. Out of the 14 areas across the UK that
took part, Birmingham topped the table for the number of observations and species and
Bristol and Bath had the most number of observers.

Thank you everyone who took part!

Still keep recording as we have a general project for the City which you can join https://uk.inaturalist.org/projects/nottingham-urban-wildlife-scheme-general-project

We will also be preparing to #gowild in June!

Help Identify our Sightings

Thank you again for taking part. We still need help to identify sightings made last weekend.

You don’t have to be an expert to help ID – just log in to the iNaturalist UK project and help with these tasks:

IDENTIFY SPECIES
Find photos of “unknown” and give them a coarse ID like “plants” or “beetles” or “fungi” – this will help those folks who do know how to ID down to the species level find those observations. If you can improve on or agree the current ID then great! Check out this short video on how to use the Identify Page on iNaturalist

It is really useful to be able to identify as many species as possible. The UK is now part of the international iNaturalist network. This means that local environmental record centers, the Biological Record Centre and conservation groups will be able to access more information than ever before from iNaturalistUK. The better the information we can share the more valuable it will become.

Launch of iNaturalistUK

Are you ready for City Nature Challenge 2021 - it will soon be here! Starting on Friday 30 April Nottingham will be joining with over 450 cities across 43 countries, including the UK, to record the urban wildlife in their local patch.

If you see the prompt on the website asking to affiliate to the UK site - please say yes. You will still be able to access the global community and your sightings will still be shared worldwide. Take a look at the iNaturalist privacy settings if you need to know more.

Affiliate on the App. Now available for iPhone users. Coming soon for Android.
Go to Settings > iNaturalist Network and when available select iNaturalistUK
