NatureSpot Website


Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland as vice-county VC55 ( the area used for recording wildlife) is very lucky to have the NatureSpot website, which is a tremendous resource for naturalists in the area.  It has photos and identification help for over 7,000 species that have been recorded in the VC55 area, as well as many other resources.  Members of the Natural History Section record wildlife found at Outdoor Meetings on NatureSpot, and many of us are regular users.  Users need to register with NatureSpot (for free) to access all the features and to be able to submit records.
