Teamwork makes lightwork of a large task!

This month we have teamed up with 2 photographic organisations to bring some top quality material and fantastic footage to the wiki!

Oliver who runs PrimoPhotography is a close personal friend. He has helped out with many image projects on the wiki and has more to come! He will be helping out with Distribution Maps and some other vital parts on the wiki.

Claxton Natural Images

We are going to be using some videos that have been expertly filmed and put together by Richard Claxton the founder of Claxton Natural Images. The videos have been kindly had permission to be put on the wiki and in the coming weeks, we shall upload them.

Updates on Tracks & Signs

The Tracks & Signs project will be started at the end of the month. Although some images have already been uploaded, we are still gathering photos and other images to help identify even more tracks and signs!

Wiki Updates: New Year 2011

Tracks and Signs will be started on within the next week or so.

From now on at least 15 maps will be uploaded a week and added to the corresponding pages. Channel Island maps have started to be added to pages and will continue so until all the necessary pages have them on.

We are also adding a new page on the developement of Frog Spawn over the next few days and for now will cover the first week of development.

If you wanna help on the wiki email us at woodlandswildlifecouncil@yahoo.co.uk

Channel Islands

Due to some recent feedback from our Admin Review Team (ART) we are introducing maps that show species distribution on The Channel Islands. This is because:

1. They are part of The UK.
2. They are not currently on our Distribution Maps.
3. They have some species endemic to them and found no-where else.

So look out for the changes on the wiki taking place in the new year.

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!

Fungi on the wiki

We are bringing in a new system much like that of the Distribution maps we have started adding, instead this time it is for fungi and it is to tell you when the best time of the year it is to see a certain fungi. To find out more click here.
