Many recorders are motivated to record wildlife because they want to ensure that records are available to decision makers, planning authorities, scientists, recording schemes and societies.
iRecord allows you to customise several aspects including the species groups you like to record most often and the region, county or area you most often record in.
Activities on iRecord are a way of organizing recording to enable the compilation and reporting of records for particular sites or geographic areas, and for particular species or groups of species; they are a great option for those running a bioblitz.
All non-sensitive records added to iRecord are immediately available for browsing on the Explore pages of the website, with their verification status (i.e. whether they have been checked by an expert and if so, the result) displayed.
iRecord is designed so that it is flexible enough to be used for a huge range of different wildlife recording needs and scenarios, and as such there are a number of different formats in which you can submit records on the iRecord website or mobile App, including a range of recording forms for different purposes, and Activities for group recording.
Welcome a summary of data collected by the iRecord Butterflies mobile phone application for 2023. If you have just submitted records, please note that it can take a few minutes for your records to appear on the reports.
*Vice counties are a version of the county boundaries which don't keep changing, so they are very useful for biological records.
Here are a few of the photos recently uploaded from the Butterfly App.

The area is seasonally waterlogged, possibly with a permanently flowing underground stream. To the east is a clay clapped landfill site, mostly longer grass and some scrub, before meeting sea wall and sharp transition into mud shingle and mud flats. To the west is a major tarmacadam road.

Site is heavily used for recreation and dog walking. Elsewhere in park there is evidence of casting on the surface, however this patch of grass and its herbaceous borders lacked any obvious casting when searched for.
