    Who’s it for?

    This is a closed event, not open to members of the public who do not have experience in biodiversity recording. Attendees should be experienced in biodiversity monitoring and recording and must contact the organisers in advance to confirm their place.

    What will be recorded?

    We will be recording all flora and fauna that we see or hear, and can identify. Entire groups have never been recorded in G88—ladybirds, for example, and there are species that have not been recorded for many years such as Kingfisher—last recorded in 2011.

    The Blue Stack Mountains or Bluestack Mountains, also called the Croaghgorms (Irish: na Cruacha Gorma, meaning 'the blue stacks'), are the major mountain range in the south of County Donegal, Ireland. We plan to focus our bioblitz on the 10km map square G88.
