Use the App to start photographing birds, bugs, plants, fungi: in your garden, in the lanes on the footpaths.
The App will usually identify it for you. Then it will upload to our survey where your observation will appear within a day or so. It is easy and it is quick. To see what we have so far take a look at the Dittisham Survey: Click here to see BioBlitz Dittisham (HTML) and in Cornworthy (HTML) and in Blackawton (HTML)
We will soon cover all of the parishes in the South Hams. Hopefully we will soon be able to log some swifts taking up summer residence in the church tower!
