Hoverfly data

2018 was a fairly good year for the valley with 107 species recorded for the valley, with 99 species in SS89 (upper valley) and 90 species in SS88 (lower valley), helped no doubt by a number of species taken as specimens in both 10km squares. Now that all data for 2018 has been up loaded to the hoverfly recording scheme website, we see that our two squares were the best recorded in number of species for 2018. So far in 2019 I have recorded 31 species and that will increase dramatically during May. Top 3 sites are listed below.
