DOWNLOADS
Information sheets for different levels of expertise
This section of my site will contain a number of downloads, some in pdf format
and some designed as interactive Excel format spreadsheets.
The different downloads will range from sheets to help school children
identify creatures in when pond dipping
to those designed for experienced naturalists to evaluate the health and
conservation value of a freshwater habitat.
Please read the description below then click on the links to download each
file and do come back to see if more has been added.
If you download the aquatic species factsheet, perhaps you can identify the
freshwater snail in the picture above!
1 Aquatic Species factsheet
This is a factsheet in pdf format (see below) which explains how freshwater
life is recorded for the Biological Records Centre in Ipswich and how important
it is to record to species level. Identification to species level is not
an easy thing but the fact sheet contains illustrations of 16 species which
are very easy to distinguish and for which we need more records. It is
hoped that ordinary naturalists will be able to send in records for these
species.
