Help to record the wildlife of Leicestershire and Rutland
Submit any sighting of an animal, plant or fungus – with or without a photo – to put your dot on our species distribution maps. All records are passed on to local and national recording schemes. All wildlife records are valuable, common or rare, and whether from your garden, local park or a nature reserve. Help To Record
To submit a record and experience this site in full, you must register (free and quick!).
The RSPB's Big Garden Birdwatch takes place this weekend - the 28th and 29th January and we would like to encourage as many NatureSpot users as possible to take part. Visit the RSPB website giving details of the event by following this  Sharnford Road from Rectory to Morley Road Sapcote SP49099324 (taken 27.3.2006)_0_90.jpg)
The season may be over for most fungi but one species comes into its own at this time of year - Velvet Shank, Flammulina velutipes - which can be commonly found growing on dead wood. 
Every wildlife sighting submitted to NatureSpot will immediately add a dot to the county distribution map. You can view these maps on every page in our Species Library. Help us to plug the gaps - even common species are often under-recorded and more data is needed.
