A sunny but breezy afternoon for a Mini Bio-Blitz as part of the Bristol 99 Project.

Bristol 99 is organised by Bristol Natural History Consortium to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Festival of Nature; this events based project, is running throughout Bristol for a 6 week period between May 3rd and June 16th.

This was a great chance for everybody to have fun exploring Troopers Hill and learning more about this unique heathland habitat and the many creatures that live here. During a BioBlitz event scientists and members of the public work together to survey a natural space; seeking, identifying and recording as many species as possible.

We had three expert naturalists on site to help indentify what was found - Tony Smith, Ray Barnet and Matt Postles from the BNHC. Volunteers from both Friends of Troopers Hill and BNHC were also on site to help record the finds.
