ESSEX FIELD CLUB COUNTY RECORDERS FOR 2007/2008
The Recorders compile and maintain detailed records of Essex flora, fauna and geology (the
Watsonian recording vice counties 18 and 19, including the London boroughs east of the River
Lea). They welcome records from members and these should include species, date of observation,
location and, where possible, a six-figure grid reference and any habitat or other relevant ecological
data. They will also assist with identification and answer queries on their subjects but where a reply
is necessary please enclose a stamped addressed envelope.
