ESSEX FIELD CLUB RECORDERS FOR 2010/2011
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
naturalists 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. If you
are using MapMate for your biological records, then please send these on regular occasions using the MapMate
synchronisation process, contacting the County Recorder first to ensure they are able to receive them.
