Thank you to everyone who took part in 2026!

We've just looked at the records received so far (and there are more coming in!) and it looks like the best year so far with more people taking part in helping to establish a biodiversity baseline for Cumbria.

Top species recorded was the Ringlet, with butterflies generally well recorded across the weekend. Selfheal was the top plant recorded.

Thank you, Cumbria Wild Watchers 👏
