“These meetings provide a great opportunity to hear about progress with the National Recording Scheme, find out the latest developments in moth research and conservation with fellow recorders.”

“The National Moth Recording Scheme (NMRS) is based upon a national network of County Moth Recorders. These skilled and dedicated volunteers act as the central point for moth recording in the county or counties that they cover. They receive records, verify (check) and computerise them, and maintain a local database.”

I mention this as a reminder that not all recording schemes involve exploitation, depletion, misreporting, personal gain, large rewards or endless praise. Britain isn’t entirely bonkers.
