During 2019 as an extended part of the
1ksq competition (1000 species in a 1k square in one year) I'll be trying to rack up 1500 species at Cullaloe.
A fair old start to the year, with a good morning on 1st Jan and a few 1 hour sessions to do a basic cover of the reserve compartments. 200 came up on day one so got to be happy with that! Also a few additions to the reserve list which is a big part of the target this year. After two years on other locations I find myself coming refreshed to old ground and apparently with some new skills - always a relief. Some recon didn't hurt, either.

| Bryophytes 1 |

| Bryophytes 2 |

| Bryophytes 3 |
There's no way I'm going to try to summarise the list so far so here's the numbers and one of my favourite odd beasts - the linyphiid
Savignya frontata. Surreal! And very pleasingly one of three additions to the reserve's already quite decent spider list.
