SUMMARY:Hilbre Island Invertebrate Recording Day
DESCRIPTION:Book here. \nThe Hilbre Islands Local Nature Reserve is contained within the Dee Estuary\, off the Wirral Coast near West Kirby and Hoylake. \nIt is an internationally important site for wading birds\, and a great site for spotting marine mammals. The flora on the main island also provide a good habitat for invertebrates. Plants include sea thrift\, yellow birdsfoot trefoil\, sea spurrey\, buckshorn plantain\, white sea campion\, ragwort and centaury. Hilbre’s specialities are the sea spleenwort\, growing on sheltered cliff faces\, and a sub species of rock sea lavender found in only a few other places in Europe. \nPlease note we will be walking over to the main island from West Kirby (which takes up to an hour) and spending the day there. We will be cut off from the mainland by the tide for up to 6 hours\, so this recording day will be slightly longer than usual and will run from 9am to 5pm. There are toilets and shelter on the island. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease be aware that whilst we welcome invertebrate recorders of all experience levels\, our recording days are not taught or guided sessions. (Check out our webinars/workshops here). \nEvents will be subject to cancellation if there is adverse weather forecast. \nBooking essential: Further details regarding meeting place etc. will be circulated before the day.

SUMMARY:Smithills Invertebrate Recording Day
DESCRIPTION:Book here.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA Woodland Trust site with 1\,700 acres of open countryside\, featuring mixed woodland with streams\, rough grassland and heather moorland. The day will be focused in the Walker Fold area. Smithills has been the focus of a Heteroptera and Diptera study by Phil Brighton 2015-2019\, and a few Bioblitzes have also taken place in recent years. There was a Tanyptera Recording Day to this site last year but bad weather meant few species were recorded. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease be aware that whilst we welcome invertebrate recorders of all experience levels\, our recording days are not taught or guided sessions. (Check out our webinars/workshops here). \nEvents will be subject to cancellation if there is an adverse weather forecast. \nBooking essential: Further details regarding meeting place etc. will be circulated before the day.

SUMMARY:Swallows Wood and Holybank Quarry Invertebrate Recording Day
DESCRIPTION:Book here. \nSwallow’s Wood is a 60-acre nature reserve\, which contains semi-natural woodlands\, meadows\, ponds and marsh areas\, and is owned by United Utilities who are also responsible for its management. Arnfield Reservoir is between our meeting point and the wood with bordering scrub of likely invertebrate interest.  After a morning at the wood\, we’ll take a very short drive up to Tintwistle Parish Council owned Holybank Quarry\, a moorland suntrap filled with heather and bilberry\, and including a couple of small ponds. There are some areas gradually moving into semi-natural broadleaf woodland with silver birch\, oak and hawthorn. The council are currently trying to manage the site as part of a rewilding project. \nThis is a joint recording day with Sorby Invertebrate Group. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease be aware that whilst we welcome invertebrate recorders of all experience levels\, our recording days are not taught or guided sessions. (Check out our webinars/workshops here). \nEvents will be subject to cancellation if there is adverse weather forecast. \nBooking essential: Further details regarding meeting place etc. will be circulated before the day.

SUMMARY:Ribble Estuary Invertebrate Recording Day
DESCRIPTION:Book here. \nRibble Estuary National Nature Reserve (NNR) includes extensive areas of mud and sand flats and is one of the largest saltmarsh habitats in England. For this recording day we will be visiting the saltmarsh area near the village of Banks on the southern side of the estuary. There will also be the opportunity to visit a grazed wildflower meadow opposite. \nSaltmarshes have a special invertebrate assemblage\, including the commoner species that support large numbers of wading birds and wildfowl. Relatively little invertebrate recording has taken place in this area so new site records can be expected. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease be aware that whilst we welcome invertebrate recorders of all experience levels\, our recording days are not taught or guided sessions. (Check out our webinars/workshops here). \nEvents will be subject to cancellation if there is an adverse weather forecast. \nBooking essential: Further details regarding meeting place etc. will be circulated before the day.
