The folks from BRERC have continued their sterling efforts in identifying the species collected during the Bioblitz, and this has pushed the recorded number above 600 – to a total of 637!
Plants – 229 ; Invertebrates (excluding moths & butterflies) – 214 ; Moths – 79 ; Butterflies – 11 ; Birds – 40 ; Mammals – 15 ; Amphibians – 5 ; Moss – 13 ; Fungi – 18 ; Lichen – 8 ; Algae/stonewort – 1 ; Slime Mould – 1 ; Liverwort – 2 … and still just the 1 fish…

The Bioblitz identified 569 species in the survey areas of Ashton Court, and unsurprisingly, plants and invertebrates make up the bulk of them. In numerical order, the final count was :
Plants = 194 ; Invertebrates (excluding moths) = 186, with Moths alone = 76 ; Birds = 39 ; Mammals = 15 ;
Mosses = 14 ; Butterflies = 11 ; Fungi = 10 ; Lichens = 8 ; Amphibians = 5 ; Fish = 1 ; Algae/stonewort = 1
This makes 560. The other 9 species are from unassigned taxa in the BRERC database and so more difficult to catagorise.
