405 species were observed and named with possibly another name to come. It was a great team effort; many thanks to all who submitted records, stayed up late and/or got up early, and persisted with identifying or confirming unusual species.
We hope to publish the final species list next week; in the meantime check out this link to see a full report and photographs of the day : https://iwnhas.org/bioblitz-2018-the-results-are-in/

There will be the opportunity for questions after each talk, and an interval for tea and cake with the opportunity to look at displays and chat to other enthusiasts.
Please bring photographs or mounted specimens of last years interesting Island wildlife finds (or items that provided a challenge to identify) to share with your fellow recorders on the Island Wildlife display table.
If your group or organisation would like to bring a display, please contact Anne Marston at lrc@iow.gov.uk by 30th January 2018 so we can allocate display space in the hall
