Pan Species List Update
Isobel Girvan, Principal Ecologist at Surrey Wildlife Trust, got in touch with us and kindly sent us the results of a Surrey Botanical Society Monad survey she conducted at Tice's Meadow in August 2013. Isobel added 12 new species to the Pan Species List:
- Common Duckweed, Pale Persicaria, Marsh Horsetail, Greater Bird's-foot-trefoil, White Poplar, Cock's-foot, Sharp-flowered Rush, Hard Rush, Creeping Bent, Meadow Foxtail, Silverweed and Horse Chestnut.
- Painted Nomad Bee, Dark Blood-bee, Palmate Newt, Water Vole, Rough Hawkbit, Wood Horsetail, Dog's Mercury, Goat Willow, Toad Rush, Wavy Hair-grass and Smooth Meadow-grass.
The Tice's Meadow Pan Species List now stands at
985 species.
Tice's Twitchers Table
Do you keep a list of all the birds you've seen at Tice's Meadow? If so, then please let us know your total as we're putting together a league table for the website. This is just a bit of fun and will hopefully encourage semi-regulars to twitch birds they need for their lists and visit the site a little more often.
Lost and Found
A large camera lens hood has been found at Tice's Meadow. Please get in touch if it's yours and you'd like it back.
