Thank you to the recorders who joined us for the final recording day of the season at Bedford Moss & Windy Bank for this recording day.  The privately owned Bedford Moss was the first location for the day.  This site is part of the wider Astley & Bedford Mosses SSSI, the condition of which is Unfavourable but recovering. The SSSI Citation can be viewed here.

The weather was raining on our arrival, but after a 30 minute walk across to the entrance of Bedford Moss SSSI it began to clear.

After lunch at Bedford Moss, we visited the woodlands, grasslands & ponds of Windy Bank owned by the Forestry Commission, to whom we thank for their kind permission for access.

Recorders: Dave Bentley, Philip Brighton, Keith Fowler, Belinda Nixie, Gary Hedges, Glen Rostron, Julia Simons

A developing species list is given below, with more to be added in the coming weeks and months as recorders identify their specimens. As well as providing us with a list, recorders are asked to formally submit their recorders via their usual channels (iRecord is recommended).
