Springwatch Wild Day Out
← Visitors Shown How Dome Went From Horses To Courses | Is Model-Making Really Child's Play? →
Wildlife enthusiasts smashed a target to find 500 different species in 24 hours in a city park and made some exciting finds in the process - including a moss new to Derbyshire and a nationally rare beetle.
Derbyshire's first ever BioBlitz was a 24 hour period of wildlife recording aimed at providing a comprehensive list of all the animal and plant species in Markeaton Park. From 5pm Saturday (June 5) to 5pm Sunday (June 6), 597 species were identified.
