Part of the BioBlitz event involves different sites competing against one another to see which site could record the most species over a 24 hour period. BioBlitz is held annually and is intended to raise awareness of biodiversity recording and conservation.
Principally field observations of species encountered
The island of Ireland
2011 onwards
The quality is high. Data were most collected by recognised experts and all records have been validated.
