Big Biodiversity Watch

Friday 4th June 2010

To celebrate International Year of Biodiversity, Norfolk Wildlife Trust invites you to take part in its biggest ever wildlife-watching event!

Help to record more than 500 different species on Norfolk Wildlife Trust nature reserves in the 24 hours between 12 noon on Saturday 5 June and 12 noon on Sunday 6 June.

Taking part is easy. All you have to do is accurately identify as many species as you can at a nature reserve – birds, mammals, insects, plants: any species you can identify with certainty – then send in your sightings. With more than 40 NWT nature reserves across Norfolk you won’t need to travel far to find one. Visit the nature reserves map for the full list with visiting details.

If you would like to join in but want help identifying wildlife, we are holding guided walks led by experts on eleven of our most fascinating nature reserves. All the walks are free and everyone is welcome. These events are part of BBC Springwatch Wild Days Out and are a fabulous chance to see Norfolk’s wildlife at its best. Download the leaflet listing all the events and with a recording form on the back.
