(1)

We are a small environmental charity, working to collate biodiversity data for Jersey, Channel Islands, and make it available for environmental decision making and research. Biological records are vitally important as they underpin conservation decision making and policy in Jersey. The Jersey Biodiversity Centre’s primary purpose is to collate this data, which is collected by a diverse range of amateur and professional biological recorders, in to a central database where it can be managed, made available, and mobilised, primarily for the purpose of safeguarding the Island’s natural environment for future generations. Through the application of innovative use of technology and science, the JBC works to harness the enthusiasm and knowledge of Jersey’s biological recording community and improve how data is collected, collated, managed and shared. The Jersey Biodiversity Centre works in close partnership with amateur and professional biological recorders and biological recording groups to promote biological recording and citizen science monitoring schemes and to provide training, support and tools to assist with the collection and submission of biological records to the Jersey Biodiversity Centre database. The Jersey Biodiversity Centre database provides researchers and environmental decision makers with a centralised database of high-quality biodiversity data for Jersey.

Keep your eyes peeled when out around the coast for the charismatic Snow Bunting.
A small chunky bird which likes to feed on the ground, favouring gravelly areas around the coast.
An amazing five different individuals were seen around the island yesterday, so keep a look out in case there’s more and don’t forget to report them in the comments, as every record counts.

trick-or-treat 👻🕷️🐛🎃🐌

If you spot one of these creepy crawly critters this Halloween, you've got yourself a treat! 🍬

Invertebrates play many important roles in our ecosystems but their small size and strange appearances mean they're often overlooked and under-recorded. Why not take a look through our spooky spotters guide and see what you can spot this weekend.

These mini beasts are also great last-minute inspiration for a perfect costume!

🍄🧚⭐

The classic fairy tale toadstool, fly agaric (Amanita muscaria), can be found in woodlands, parks and heaths with scattered trees, usually growing beneath birch trees, pines or spruces.

Like most fungi, the part we see is the fruiting body. They grow from an unseen network of tiny filaments called hyphae, which form a structure known as the mycelium. The mycelium of fly agaric often forms a symbiotic relationship with the trees, wrapping around the roots and supplying them with nutrients from the soil. In exchange, the fungus receives sugars produced by the trees.

‼️Fly agarics are poisonous and should not be eaten.

Submit your sightings to the Jersey Biodiversity Centre via iNaturalist, iRecord or our website 👉 www.jerseybiodiversitycentre.org.je/records/enter-casual/
