61 Finley Hutchinson's garden, Reading

Medium sized urban garden in central reading, completely enclosed by housing. Birds seen/heard in/from the garden, everything else within. Only started properly counting in March 2020 (start of lockdown!) but the odd record from before that. Regular moth trapping through the summer and occasional in winter, small pond too.

66 Stephen Howarth's former garden, North Warwickshire

A small suburban garden in a village in North Warwickshire. Adjacent to a small ancient woodland which is designated as a Local Nature Reserve. We lived here from October 2009 to February 2018 and been moth trapping throughout that time. Most other records are casual ones.

I've been keeping a list of animals for the garden for some time but only added plants and fungi later. Almost certainly missed some as I've only included ones which I can definitely remember having recorded.

68 Sutton Hoo (NT)

A small 57 ha estate in East Suffolk, acquired for the Anglo-Saxon burial ground, home to one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of all time. It has some excellent acid grasslands, plus SSSI saltmarsh and mudflats along the River Deben, some wet woodland with Alder/Willow and some newer planted conifer/mixed woodlands. Only the vascular flora has been surveyed in detail and all of the other taxon groups are likely to produce many more species.

69 Hollingbury Wildpark LNR

A chalk grassland area to the north of Brighton. It includes a golf course, meadows, a set-aside field, woodland and scrub.

70 John Walker's garden, West Notts.

A small (c100m2) urban garden with a small (1m2) pond, not specifically managed for wildlife apart from being left rather unkempt. Situated on the edge of town with rough grassland and arable farmland to the north, ornamental trees planted by the local council on the adjacent plot.  Moth trapping since 2002 started my interest in PSL at home, over 40% of my records are now from this site.
