Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas from everyone at The British Wildlife Wiki and The WWC.
Recently we had a few complaints about the copyright issues which we have started to combat and also about having distribution maps and not including the Channel islands. So now we have made up 9 Channel islands maps that will start to be used in the new year.
If you have any more good ideas or complaints let us know by emailling woodlandswildlifecouncil@yahoo.co.uk

Copyright and New Projects
So recently we have had trouble with copyright on some photos on the wiki. To resolve this we have deleted any photo that may cause another issue. We are also adding copyright info to all of our own photos on the wiki now. The Wiki Rules have been changed to coinside with this.
Tracks and Signs
In January we are starting Tracks and Signs. This is going to be a section of the wiki outlining tracks of animals and the signs they leave behind. To find out more email us: woodlandswildlifecouncil@yahoo.co.uk
If you would like to join in with anything on the wiki please email us to find out more and how you can help!

3 Days until The Wiki's first Birthday!
It is 3 days until the wiki's first birthday. In response to this we have asked a few people who have contributed or visited the wiki and lef tus their details to write a short review of the wiki. These will be coming later on in the week!
Also we have added some new photos and maps but due to the server problems over the past few days we havent been able to edit or create pages. This means all the articles that were supposed to done, aren't so they will be done in time for wednesday!
Last Sunday
Last Sunday we said we were going out on a hunt for small mammals, we went to our usual locations to find nothing and before we could lay any bait down to lure the critters out it chucked it down! We abandoned the photohunt and went home.
We should be going back in a few weeks time when the weather permits!

Distribution Maps and Other Photos
Over the next month loads of new photos from Moths to Fungi will be added to the wiki. This is aimed at helping people identify species rather than just doing by a description.
Also the new Distribution maps have come into the wiki now. All of the Reptiles and Amphibian pages now have a Distribution map to show you where to find the species. We are going to expand this soon with more maps being made every day!
Watch the wiki for the new look coming soon!

Sorting through out photos
On the British Wildlife Wiki we have over 600 photos. Hardly any of these are categorised and some have the wrong name so, we have made it our mission to go through all 600+ and categorise them and correct any names. This is due to all the new photos and distribution maps coming soon!
The WWC website is back up! Please visit this link.

New Wiki Projects
Along with the Tracks & Signs project coming at the start of next year, we have lauched two new projects which will be running from September onwards.
These are:
Fruits & Vegetables
Most Fruits and vegetables can be found out in the wild nowadays and always have so we think it is important to improve this section so people know what to look for and also because it helps to widen the scope of the wiki. This will also include berries as well as Fruits and Vegetables.
Garden Flower
We did a survey of our users and many were horticulturalists looking up information of wildlife they had found in their garden and in response we have decided to add a project about Garden Flowers as the wiki is lacking them.
Watch this space to be kept up to date!

August Trips
This August we have been to quite a few places so far.
Colchester Zoo
We went to Colchester Zoo as we do once every year. We like to see the progress that the zoo has. We enjoy the day out as we discover something and see something new everyday.
Suffolk Owl Sanctuary
The Suffolk owl sanctuary is a charity that looks after abandoned and injured birds of prey in the Suffolk area. Their birds are on display and there are daily flying displays. They also have a colony of Red Squirrels and some other cool wildlife.
Easton Farm Park
Is a farm open to the public which houses a wide range of farm animals and educates how farms work and what the animals eat. It is situated on the River Deben and is a great day out.
The Deep
We went to The Deep in Hull which is the worlds only submarium. It is a massive place that houses lots of different animals from amphibians to fish. It educates people on the start of life, the planet an exploration of the ocean. There is a massive tank which is 10 metres deep and the biggest fish tank in Europe. It holds 2.5 million litres of water and has many species of shark, ray and fish in it. It is also one of 3 aquariums in the world to breed Blue-spotted Rays.
Wiki
Because we have been to all of these places we have over 150 new photos to add to the wiki. Also the Distribution maps and loads more touched up photos other than the 150 we have taken will be added shortly.
We are also heading to Colchester Aquarium, Rainham Marshes, Natural History Musuem, London Aquarium and a few other places within the next few weeks.

August Updates
So after going to Rainham Marshes and having such a good day, we returned to have an equally good day even though it was raining.
We have also been to Colchest Zoo recently to check out the animals there and get some shots of the animals in their habitat simulated enclosures. This was a fun day out and we had fun.
We visited Benfleet Downs in search of the Migrant Hawkers and found them, but the weather put them off and they never stood still enough for us to take any decent photos of them so we are soon to return to try our luck once more, but we did get some great photos of other wildlife.
Next week we are heading to Easton Farm Park and Suffolk Owl Santuary which are both in Suffolk. These are two of our favourite wildlife parks in the area and SOS has a colony of Red Squirrels as well as regular flight displays from the Owls and Raptors.
Wiki Updates
We have started to intergrate a new way of showing where animals can be found in the UK. For all the animal pages, we plan to add a distribution map by the end of the year showing where they can be found during certain times of the year. These maps are colour coded and some have already been uploaded to certain pages.
Thats all for now, but we will let you know how we get on!

Wiki Photos
Once again the kind hearted nature of a wildlife photographer has given us a lifeline. They have given permission to use their growing collection of over 200 wildlife photos to be used on the wiki. We have already thanks them and we are looking for more people to step forward.
Thanks once again D.R.S

Trip to RSPB Rainham Marshes
Today we went to Rainham Marshes for the first time. It's a great place for wildlife and any wildlife photographer or bird watcher.
The entry fee was £2.50 to any adult who is not a member of The RSPB and £1 entry to anyone under thw age of 16. We think entry free for members of the RSPB is free.
The scenes are great, there are vast amounts of reedbeds which is great habitat for the voles, amphibians and wetland birds.

Hanningfield Reservoir
We had a great day at Hanningfield Reservoir, seeing many waterfowl including:
We were so good at identifying the animals that the rangers were impressed when someone showed us a photo of a grass snake and asked what it was. They thought i was an adder and told them how to disquingish the two.
So, we had a great day and the photos and many new articles will be hitting The British Wildlife Wiki soon!
- Tufted Ducks
- Pochards
- Mallards
- Mute Swans

New Wiki Articles
Over the next few days a lot of new wiki articles will be added by us on Fungi, Plants and Birds. These are some of the areas where the Wiki is lacking articles in comparison with the amount of species to the amount of pages that are on the wiki. We will be working with a number of new people in the coming months to supply the wiki with new information and a number of different photos that provide clear details for easy identification.

Youtube Special!
Next month we are going to be creating a special video to commemorate the fact that we will have 200 subscribers and 100,000 video views on YouTube. We are going to catch 150 fish at the local and 50 herps at the local glen.
Last year we caught 100 animals in a day and this time we aim to catch 200 animals in 2-3 consecutive days, depending on the weather.
If you have any other idea that would make the videos special please let us know by emailing, contactus@thewwc.org.

Spring is here!
There seems to be an endless future in sight.
Youtube
Now that spring is here, we can start filming for our British Wildlife Clips, although we do have a few episodes ready we want to upload a few in bulk at a time to keep people entertained, we dont want people waiting and asking for more. We plan to have 365 episodes, one for each day of the year!
Also the Geology series will be underway soon as we are just creating the opening sequence and then the videos will be ready to upload so watch this space.
Nature Reserves
A new nature reserve is opening up near us on the West Canvey Marsh this spring. It may be an hour walk away but it will be well worth it and we are hoping to film most of the British Wildlife Clips series here.
Hopefully it will be open soon whilst the weather is good and we shall be making many videos on the marsh as it will certainly be an intresting place to visit.
The British Wildlife Wiki
We currently have 375 articles which meets our target and i have done some math. We are hoping to get 75 articles done a month but it seems that our average is closer to 100 at 94. So thanks to all those who have helped make the wiki what it is today and don't forget your support is continually needed.
Website
The website is under complete refurbishment and at the moment it is going well! We have made many new pages and sorted out the Live Support addon so that will be ready when the website is back up, also we have srted out a search bar for the website as well!
The layout is going to be coded from our designs by a professional company so everything should look perfect and tie together well, if you would like to see anything on the site please let us know by emailing : thewwc@hotmail.co.uk (this is a temporary email whilst the site is down).
We wish you a Happy Spring!
