Birmingham and the Black Country is currently 4th in the World 😮 #CityNatureChallenge

[EcoRecord @EcoRecording]

On Twitter we've been asked:

'Can I upload a record to iNaturalist without a photo? Will it still count towards the City Nature Challenge?'

The answer is yes, and yes

:)

Just spotted this cute little weasel* on the Bournbrook walkway! 😮 It dashed across the path and into the floodplain meadow. Never seen one before!

*Short tail with no black tip so I'm thinking weasel, but I could be wrong!
