Background to our surveys   
    The SNS exists to record the changing wildlife within the county of Suffolk. To this end we have a number of county recorders, as well as other experienced naturalists, all of whom are greatful to members of the society and also to the public at large for sending in wildlife records.

    Many people are reticent to send in records as they feel their knowledge is not good enough. Of course recorders would rather have a few erroneus records than none at all but they do appreciate that it is difficult to make the first step into sending in definite identifications.

Therefore there are often surveys organised, concentrating on easily identified species. These allow the newcomer to join in with confidence and provide really needed records. But please don't think these surveys are just there to help the newcomer, the extra records will very much help to paint a picture of the distribution of the species involved. You would be surprised just how little is sometimes known about even common species in Suffolk and also at just how much information could be gained if more people sent us records.

So .... Why not join in ?
