**COVID 19 note: we do not advocate unnecessary travel for recording purposes during this time of crisis. We still encourage you to look for the Species of the Month, but please do so in a safe, socially distant and local manner, e.g. concentrating on your own garden.**
Each month we ask recorders to look for common yet overlooked species, in hopes of filling in the gaps in our maps! Sign up to the SEWBReC email list to get details of new squares and species direct to your inbox.
