Hi Matt. The totals were running at c75% of 2023. Today’s was pretty much the same as 2023 but I’m not getting carried away because this could be due to early emergence of grassland species. Greater analysis (esp species specific) needed as year unfolds. WL Damselfly now recorded in 3 areas 😎👌

Hi guys! It was a fabulous day and you could feel how powerful the positive energy was between us and with almost 300 attendees it was a huge success for the #BrumBiosphere’s maiden event and and we should all be really pleased with the visitor experience that we delivered together 🙏😎

It was great seeing local artist @stevelilart.bsky.social selling his amazing art, Friends of Reddings Lane Park running creative activities, Glue Collective, and @bbcwildlifetrust.bsky.social - as well as fascinating talks by @beccasbutterfli.bsky.social and @markavery.bsky.social!
