Bird Eggshell Guide and Sounds

Over the Weekend we have uploaded over 50 replica bird egg photos donated to us by Peter Rowland. They have been put on the Bird Eggshell Identification project page. They are in a jumbled order and the actual eggs my differ slightly from the the ones shown in the photos.

More info will be coming to the eggshell guide soon, with descriptions of the eggs including sizes and laws on the the different birds and their nests/eggs.

On a different note, we have uploaded 3 frog calls, from a Marsh Frog, Edible Frog and a Pool Frog. The recordings are short as the wind was blowing on the microphone at the time of the recording, but I picked the best bits and saved them. Bird songs are short to follow and you are free to download them from the wiki!

Have a great Easter,
The British Wildlife Wiki Team!

Southend Trip Success


After a successful day at Sea-life Adventure Southend, we are going to upload the photos and videos to the wiki! The centre has a variety of tropical and local fish species. We found out lots about all the species which will help us improve pages on the wiki. Also we saw a shark feed and went to lots of the talks held my members of staff.

Because of all of this over the next few days, photos, videos and information will be added to a variety of marine life pages.
