About me:
I started with Birds aged 6, then on to plants soon after, and eventually I started learning to identify invertebrates more seriously. I'm now enjoying learning about and identifying lots of groups, but I particularly enjoy Plants, Bryophytes, Beetles, Bugs, Ants, Myriapods and Birds.
Currently based in Cambridgeshire, but surveying throughout the SE, with future sights set on the Highlands...
My lifetime aim is 10,000 species!
