1 minute interview – An Avery of Info

One corner of the Bioblitz tent is a flutter with action.  Janet Avery from the RSPB is on hand answering all questions bird related.

What are you up to at the Bioblitz?

We are here to encourage people to explore birds and wildlife.  Most people don’t realise that we aren’t just about birds.  We love all wildlife.

Are you heading out spotting species this afternoon?

I’m excited to be heading out this afternoon.  Yesterday I identified a scarlet lilly beetle for someone.  Its a tricky beetle to ID, it looks like a ladybird but with no spots.

Even in the tent here you can hear the biodiversity at outside.  Listen….you can hear swifts outside.

What species are you hoping to see?

I just want to see what is out and about.  Its a beautiful day here.  It would be great to see a marsh or willow tit but they are quite rare.
