Review of the Year (part 2)

 At the start of the year I set myself a Pan Species Listing (PSL) challenge to increase the number of species recorded in my home 1Km square (ST0996) to over 1000 species. Foolishly, I also decided to expand that to all those 1km squares that border my home 1Km square. While I may have foolishly expanded the challenge, I also set out to get all 9 squares up to 1000+ species over a 2 - 3 year period rather than try to do it in one calendar year.

So how have I gotten on? Well the home square started with 756 species logged. A few days ago, I called up the current list from Aderyn and it now stands at 1067 species. A quick check through it shows some species I have recorded have not yet worked through, such as Yellow-line and Red-line Quakers, Twenty-plume Moth. So success for ST0996. What about the others?

I have increased all, but some not by much The list is

ST0895  was 270, is now 360

ST0886 - 509 to 570

ST0887 - 87 to 218

ST0995 - 452 to 647

ST0997 - 152 to 279

ST1095 - 172 to 303

ST1096 - 245 to 253

ST1097 - 270 to 453 

So a lot of work still to be done, but I think that i'll definitely have them a lot closer to the 1000 species mark come the end of 2021.
