To celebrate our 10,000 post (edit: well we’re nearly at 3,00 published posts but 10,000 database entities) we’ve decided to launch a new section to the website – the “Biopedia” – an encyclopedia of photos and information on some of our species across the valley area. We hope it will grow to show good places to find our regular species, photos of species you might not come across yourself – e.g. insects, and photos and information of and on rare migrants.

It will take some time to grow, but we’re sure it will be of use to people visiting the Valley, and useful information to those of us who are local and looking for information – or just somewhere to share our photos and expertise.

For more information check out the new menu page at the top menu bar.

Thanks and well done everyone on so many posts in a year and a half. When we started I don’t think anyone expected the site to grow and attract such a following and such talented contributors.
