The MBAN (Merseyside BioBank Active Naturalists) project is continuing during 2020 and your sightings will be very welcome and gratefully received. Competition may not be your 'thing' but it doesn't take much effort to get into the top 10 of recorders entering their records - you may enjoy giving it a try and learning identifications as you go along.

Also this year (2020) there will be another City Nature Challenge pitting the Liverpool City Region against other Cities and Regions across the world for numbers of sightings entered, number of species found and number of recorders/observers taking part - please help if you can - see over at: https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/city-nature-challenge-2020-liverpool-city-region

Lancashire is also getting involved in the City Nature Challenge - see over at: https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/city-nature-challenge-2020-lancashire

And, Greater Manchester is also getting involved - see over at: https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/city-nature-challenge-2020-greater-manchester

Other places in Britain are also involved such as Birmingham & Black Country, Birmingham Metro Area, Brighton & Lewes Downs, Bristol & Bath, Glasgow, London, North East England, Nottingham City, and Surrey BC - see here: https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/city-nature-challenge-2020

Take care everyone and enjoy your wildlife and nature - here is hoping we all find new and interesting things to see, watch and record during this year.
