In this new blog I am going to attempt to write about a species per day. My target is to just write one per day in the month of January 2020 but I would ideally love to carry on throughout the year. Now, I know what I’m like, I start with good intentions and peter out when distractions happen (I am easily distracted!). So a challenging but obtainable of a month will be the first task.

I’m going to keep them short (to help me, and you reading them!), with the format being what is the species, where I saw it, a fact or two and a ‘visual representation’ of said species. I can’t really draw and some my camera doesn’t have a decent lens to capture more mobile creatures so it won’t always happen but I hope to have something to demonstrate it. For example this:

Which is of course a Starling (Sturnus vulgaris).

The species in question won’t necessarily be one I’ve seen that day; there will be days I won’t be able to get out, but hopefully one I’ve seen recently.

That’s it for now. Will start tomorrow (1st January 2020) and see how far I get.
