REQUEST FOR RECORDS OF SIGHTINGS FOR 2010.

I repeat below an email that I received from LWT, which is introducing John McKay, a Volunteer with the Wildlife Trust. It's self-explanatory. If anybody would like to respond to the request(s) made, it would be appreciated.

Dear Wildlife Recorder,

As part of a project that is looking at biological recording on Local Wildlife Sites, we are keen to collate as many records as possible for the attached lists of Local Wildlife Sites, and are hoping that your recording group may be able to help.
*
We only require records from this year, and would need these before the end of September so that they can be incorporated into the final report. This will provide guidance and recommendations at a national level on how natural history recorders can be both encouraged and supported in the survey of these important local sites. And with this in mind it is important that we receive as many records as possible.
*
If you do think you will be able to contribute records as part of this study it would be especially useful if you could let us know. We are able to provide maps of any of the sites that we have listed in the attached pdf files, and are happy to accept records in any format, including MapMate sync. For each record we only require the species name, date, location, grid ref, and recorder, with numbers optional.
*
John Mackay will be coordinating this project and will happy to help with any queries, and will be collating any records we receive. His email is jmackay@lancswt.org.uk
