Apologies if too little botany, but my blog audience are largely OpenStreetMappers.<br /><br />Very pleased to find 40 plants in total. Apparently in 3 monads SK5438, SK5439 and SK5440, across 2 tetrads in 2 octads.<br /><br />@QuentinGroom note all my stuff went directly into a DB (SQLlite on the phone & then to Observados database), but had to download, put into Postgres to do WGS84 to OSGB36 projections and then create a CSV file for Tim!SK53-osmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05611497805471433828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1290723885428192841.post-75801013587577061322014-01-10T06:42:55.440+00:002014-01-10T06:42:55.440+00:00Hi Tim, my New Year's resolution is to campaig...Hi Tim, my New Year's resolution is to campaign against the use of spreadsheets to maintain records.

I'm also keeping list for the Wild Flower Society's Winter Flower Hunt, of things in flower in December, January and February.

My MSc students and I are going to do a belated hunt on University of Reading campus next week, the results will not be comparable due to later date but will be interesting to see what we find!

An amazing response.<br />If we can record the same areas in the same way next year to get comparable results it will become a very interesting long term project. So if you didn't join in this year, there is always next! <br />Tim Tim Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08371275171433725289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1290723885428192841.post-378955091309328702014-01-09T04:15:08.839+00:002014-01-09T04:15:08.839+00:00I found almost nothing and my total was too pathet...I found almost nothing and my total was too pathetic to publish !!
