Pollinator Field Recorder Day with the Biological Recording Company

Wednesday 1st May, 2024 - 10:00 am - 4:00 pm

Hogsmill Wood Nature Reserve, Surbiton KT3 5QW

Join Dr Tony Madgwick to help record the pollinators of Hogsmill Wood (Kingston). No experience is required, just a passion for insects.

Join like-minded people with an interest in recording wildlife observations for a day identifying and recording pollinators (specifically bees and flies) in an informal environment. Naturalists of all levels (from beginner to expert) will be able to share their experiences with peers and help one another improve their knowledge and build confidence in biological recording, all under the guidance of an experienced entomologist.

This event is aimed at adults only. It’s free to attend and botany recorders of all abilities are welcome, but booking is essential.

All identification will be completed in the field where possible, though please note that this event will involve some experienced individuals collecting botanical specimens for further investigation.

What will the day involve?

  • Practical experience in finding and identifying bees and flies in the field.
  • Access to an experienced entomologist and the opportunity to discuss field entomology.
  • A chance to meet fellow like-minded people from a range of different disciplines.
