Summary of Berkshire moth records in 2019

After the big push to collate records for the national moth atlas things I took a bit of a break from actively working on the county moth records, and as a result it's taken me a long time to catch up again! So I'm pleased to be able to provide a brief report on where we stand with the moth records up to the end of 2019:

• Download Berkshire county moth records: summary of recording during 2019

The summary includes sections on:

• Records and species per year

• Coverage in 2019

• New county checklists for both macro- and micro-moths (now available from our resources page)

• Priority moth species

• Species trends

• Record sharing via NMRS, NBN Atlas and TVERC

• Recent publications

• iRecord app - 'moth survey' feature

• Significant and interesting records from 2019

Many thanks to all the recorders who have contributed records, and apologies to those whose records are still stuck in my backlogs. And particular thanks go to John Thacker, who has been helping with moth verification on iRecord over the last year or so and has made a big difference to keeping on top of the incoming records.
