About the event

Invertebrate Field Recorder Day
Calling invertebrate recorders - help us record the insects and other invertebrates of London at this London Natural History Society event.

Join like-minded people with an interest in recording wildlife observations for a day identifying and recording invertebrates in an informal environment. Naturalists of all levels (from beginner to expert) will be able to share their experiences with peers and help one another improve their knowledge and build confidence in biological recording.

What will the day involve?
-Practical experience using a variety of methods to collect and record invertebrates.
-Practical experience in collecting and preserving specimens.
-A chance to meet fellow like-minded people from a range of different disciplines.

What do I need to know in advance?
-This event is aimed at adults only.
-Attendance is free, but booking is essential as spaces are limited.
-Recorders of all abilities are welcome.
-Identification will take place in the field whenever possible, but some specimens may need to be collected to be observed in more detail and identified at a later date.
-We'll be outside for the whole day so please bring suitable clothing for the weather, as well as your lunch and any snacks you will require with you on the day.

Recording London's Wildlife
All records collected will be added to the LNHS iRecord activity in order to share our findings with the site managers, Greenspace Information for Greater London (GiGL), London Natural History Society (LNHS) and relevant national recording schemes and societies.

Invertebrate Specialist: Keiron Derek Brown
Keiron has been involved with a range of invertebrate projects across the UK, including designing and managing the BioLinks project for the Field Studies Council. He set up the Biological Recording Company, where he highlights invertebrate research through the entoLIVE series and runs a wide range of invertebrate courses and events. In his spare time, he is an Entomology Chair of the London Natural History Society and is the National Recorder for Earthworms.

Paradise Fields (Horsenden Hill)
The event will take place at Paradise Fields on Horsenden Hill in the London Borough of Ealing. This is the site which became nationally (and internationally) famous for hosting an enclosed beaver reintroduction, the first of its sort in the UK. In addition to its furry residents, Paradise Fields also boasts a variety of interesting habitats ranging from ancient woodland to wildflower meadows with a rich invertebrate fauna to boot.

This event is delivered by the Biological Recording Company in partnership with the London Natural History Society.
