About Me

Species of UK
I created Species of UK to share information about plant and animal species from the UK. I also run a twitter account @speciesofuk which tweets about a new species every week. All the posts are painstakingly researched by me and I try to provide sources for all the information, but any errors or omissions are entirely my fault!
