The i-record app can be used on a Mobile to submt accuate GPS record of finds or if you use i-record you can use the Map to geo locate your refence and enter your find
In 1962 HSS under took a brief survey and its now time to create a modern and accesible record which you can help create and participate i'll post a few snippets here of that Survey which found Moonwort .

Well done Colin.
We rarely hear of entomologists studying sites in the Shibden Valley, I reckon there's some good quality sites that go unvisited, shame it's not within walking distance for me.
Good luck Colin and let us know of any interesting finds (Charlie S.)
I keep getting signed out on this blog!
Hello Charlie I hope you are well. I have no transport myself did the first walkover for Botanicals Mainly . i have about 150 species in the First 2 days hopefully verified shortly . but All of the major groups will fall into place ) Hoverflies , Bees , Shieldbugs etc . It would be nice to do a few sweeps with you and realistically as far as Moths go it would be ideal to run a light at least once a month for 12 months repeated in the Lower Valley . It will be interesting to see the final totals on Flora and Fauna https://www.youtube.com/@wildliferanger7830/videos
