And of course, it becomes the first record of the species on @PSListing 😀✅
At long last, and well overdue, I seem to have found a 'first for Britain'. Say hello to the woodlouse Chaetophiloscia elongata. Found from upper saltmarsh / seawall in north Kent in June. Thanks to the good folk on the isopod/myriopod Facebook group for confirming!
ALT Philoscia muscorum on left, Chaetophiloscia elongata on the right
ALT Chaetophiloscia elongata; note shape of telson (i.e. rear end)
ALT Chaetophiloscia elongata - note pattern of dark/light on the edges of the dorsal plates

A great weekend at @GlobalBirdfair running a pan-species listing stall, we clocked up 641 species too! Read all about it here tinyurl.com/2p85exmp

V enjoyable weekend @GlobalBirdfair talking all things @PSListing alongside @graemelyons and @bubomike. Managed to fit in 11 lifers. Here are Himacerus boops (swept by GL), Loricula elegantula (beaten by GL) and the case of Coleophora anatipennella on Blackthorn by the campsite

This is a brilliant new feature, puts your find into context and shows when you've added a species no one else has. Sign up, it's free!
Nice new feature on @PSListing. When you add a new species, you now get info on how many other people have recorded it on similar lists

If you have a) Red Mason Bees (Osmia bicornis) in a 'bee hotel', and b) a @PSListing list, you might want to check out this easy tick, new for me today in the garden naturespot.org.uk/species/Ca…

Other than specific targets, yesterday also turned up some other nice species including a 5th(?) Cornish site for Eurygeophilus pinguis, the non-native flatworm Argonemertes cf. australiensis and the springtail Neelides minutus (<10 UK records but at 0.3mm that's unsurprising!)

I headed down to Penzance yeterday for the Golden Oriole, which was a pain but eventually showed briefly at a distance. However, it did give me a chance to look for some other rare spp. down there - captions on pics!
ALT Enoplognatha mandibularis, only known in the UK from one site in Cornwall (I think) but surprisingly abundant there.
ALT Fissidens serrulatus at its only Cornish site.
ALT Riccia crystallina, a rare liverwort confined to the SW (but spreading eastwards).
ALT An unknown species of psyllid, one of several oddities found in Morrab Gardens.

And finally, top 10 bird targets on @PSListing. All vagrants that have been available to twitchers, with the exception of Wilson's Petrel that I still feel is the only 'proper' British bird I still need. One day!

Top 10 mammal targets on @PSListing. An eclectic mix of the super common & super rare (but widely twitched!) Suspect five of them may occur in my garden if I tried harder! Risso's seems to be one that several top PSL'ers still need - we need a meet-up to sort this! Anglesey?

Top 10 target vascular plants via @PSListing. Lots here due to different personal ticking rules I guess. Need to find an enjoyable proper Daffodil wood this spring! Marsh Arrowgrass seems like the sort of thing a Broadland naturalist should really have noticed by now!

Top 10 target beetles on @PSListing. The big fella at the top, absent from Norfolk sadly. Am I overlooking Cassida viridis, or are others over-recording any green tortoise beetle as this? Could twitch Black Oil-beetle this spring but still self-finding 100's spp each year so...?

Top 10 target moths on @PSListing. Some things here like Death's-head are inflated by folk twitching them of course. Have long failed to connect with Minor Shoulder-knot though, and would love to find Wood Tiger. Lesser CR - meh, probably in the garden I guess!

Top 10 target bugs on @PSListing. Mostly small fry but why haven't I seen the super-cool Centrotus? And Pyrrhocoris is in Norwich now, so only a matter of time? Must look at ferns more carefully too!

OK, thanks to the magic of @PSListing, here's some of my top 10 targets by group. Hymenoptera: have seen but not ticked some of these galls. Suspect sawfly Rhogogaster viridis is inflated through name changes vs scalaris. But I need to catch more big wasps this year!

This rare bryophyte can be found on bare ground around the roundabout and go-karts as you enter the Recording Area - Dawlish Warren is its only Devon location britishbryologicalsociety.or…
