#newyearnewme

We asked our local wildlife recorders what top tip they would give to someone starting their journey of wildlife recording for the New Year

1. Start off simple. Learn a few new species at a time and get to grips with them for a few weeks or months before moving on to others. You don’t want to overwhelm yourself with too much information to remember at the start. 

2nd June to 5th June 2022. .

Please join the Jersey Bat Group for the fourth Great Garden Bat Watch!

This event combines the joy of (hopefully!) watching bats with citizen science based research that can help us better understand bats across Jersey.

We are particularly keen to receive sightings of bats from St Helier and other urban areas around the Island to help us with our research into Jersey's urban bat populations.

The Jersey Biodiversity Centre is working with our partners at the Pollinator Project JE and Jersey Trees for Life to publicise the importance of Ivy in Jersey's environment.

Mature ivy can provide a roosting site for bats, it's autumn flowers provide an important source of food for insects at this otherwise barren time of year and later in the season it's berries are a food resource for many different species of birds.
