'Look out for...Mammals' Mammal Web Survey

Camera traps have given us a new view of the shyer species living alongside us. Help Northants as a ‘trapper’ by uploading your footage and as a ‘spotter’ by reviewing footage and identifying the species for biological records. Work together in our ‘Look out for…mammals’ with Mammal Web. Protection starts with what we know.

Look out for Rabbits!

Spring is in the air and we'd like to present you with a challenge by joining in with our Look out for Rabbits! survey.  Although thought to be common and widespread in Northamptonshire, we have relatively few records of rabbits in Northants and there are large areas of the county for which we have no records at all.

It's  bee-fly season again and we'd like to continue with our bee-fly surveys to help map and monitor the distribution of these fascinating flies across the county.  In 2018, the dotted bee-fly was recorded in Northants for the first time and we've added the option to submit a record of this species as well as your records of the dark-edged bee-fly.
