Missing records
If you know of records not shown on these maps, then this is almost certainly because they have not been submitted to the county recorder and our county database. Please provide us with your records if you have not already done so - the maps can only be as up-to-date and comprehensive as the data provided! Either provide your records to the appropriate county recorder or contact us giving the species name, date of your record, location and map grid reference or postcode. Unless you are an experienced recorder in the taxonomic group please also provide an image or voucher to support your record and the name of anyone who has identified or verified the record.
