Very pleased to get my hard copy of @graemelyons.bsky.social excellent book. See my review: markavery.info/2026/01/04/s... I broke my rule of not giving jacket quotes for this book.

Cover of book Pan-species Listing by Graeme Lyons.
Really enjoying this by @graemelyons.bsky.social
I don't think I'll ever become a super-naturalist but I'll have fun trying!
#PanSpeciesListing
Very excited to get this superb book in my morning post. Everyone should have one! #NFBR #NBN
Ordered last June, arrived Tuesday, finished last night. A book I needed years ago. Absolutely terrific and if you’re early in your naturalist phase an essential read I would say. One that won’t go on the shelf but to reread and dip into, especially the section on different groups.
Woo-hoo #goodpostday
Hotly anticipated and well stoked to get this, looks fantastic, though my knees might not thank me @panspecieslisting.bsky.social
A photo of Graeme Lyon’s newly-published book Pan-Species Listing - How to Become a Super-Naturalist (published by @pelagicpublishing). The front cover shows a diversity of species from different groups, the artwork by Rachel Hudson (@rachelhillustrates).
This fabulous book arrived yesterday and I’ve already read it pretty much from cover to cover. I normally prefer audio books and can’t think of another physical book I’ve read so comprehensively for literally decades. Congrats @graemelyons.bsky.social: a fantastic achievement.
It's arrived! Pan-species Listing: How to Become a Super-Naturalist published by @pelagicpublishing. My first book.
I am so pleased with it. It looks amazing, all those photos of incredible British species really make this a very colourful book and a celebration of how fantastic our wildlife is.
Cleaning out a couple of bird boxes. Also thinking I might get some new species for the @panspecieslisting.bsky.social then came across this/these anyone got any pointers? Underneath moss from last years Blue Tit nest, East Yorkshire, if that makes a difference?
Banstead, Surrey: the 2026 garden bioblitz is well underway, so far hampered by a virus and the snow and ice. However, with my ‘softly softly’ and steady approach it is really enjoyable. Lifers definitely to be had with which to pump up the @panspecieslisting.bsky.social list!

Good stuff (this is Andy Mus though!)
Hi Mac. Data sharing is a complex question, but in general we recommend you send records to iRecord. This exposes them to the network of verifiers and most then flow to NBN, where they can be picked up by anyone who needs them. (If most of your recs are based on photos, iNaturalist another option)
Sunday book review: Pan-species Listing by @graemelyons.bsky.social
Publisher: @pelagic.bsky.social
Review: markavery.info/2026/01/04/s...
"Hardly anyone has the knowledge to write this book & even fewer could write it so well!"
November flowering in the Surrey Uber patch: now up to 228sp with highlights of Bladder Campion and this naturalised Scarlet Gaura (listed on @panspecieslisting.bsky.social so included here) - found ‘escaped’ on lose paving close to other plants in a bed.
A few changes to the birds listed on PSL - we've brought the list in line with www.avilist.org. This means that we've lumped Teal/Green-winged Teal, Carrion/Hooded Crow, Balearic/Yelkouan Shearwater, Sandwich/Cabot's Tern and Siberian/Stejneger's Stonechats.

Corambe testudinaria - Guy Freeman
A(nother) UK first for the Recording Area, the #nudibranch #sealug Corambe testudinaria found yesterday in rockpools at Langstone Rock. One to add thanks @panspecieslisting.bsky.social
Nice, although already available on PSL
We ran a stall at Global Birdfair again, six one hour bioblitzes and pan-species listed the entire event. It was ace. analternativenaturalhistoryofsussex.blogspot.com/2025/08/pan-...

Do you do moth trapping in the UK? We'd love your help! 💡
At @ukceh.bsky.social we're training & testing AI to detect multiple moths in a single image.
Send us top-down photos of multiple moths on egg trays to support this work.

I wondered if this is the larval exuvium of a rhododendron lacebug Stephanitis rhododendri - have you come across this one @norwichbirder.bsky.social @arcanelove.bsky.social ? At Sheringham Park. Also Rhododendron leafhopper.
Endemic is out now
It’s the big day! After four years of research, writing and editing (and procrastination, terror and imposter syndrome), Endemic has now been released to the world.
Great long weekend just gone, hosting BUBO friends for Norfolk PSL shenanigans. A varied list of 22 new species for me, some common and some rare. Great fun!
