Detailed review of 2020
In the following pages are listed in systematic order all species for which records were
submitted for 2020. The report is produced automatically from the county databases of Hampshire
and Isle of Wight, and as such, can easily be amended if errors or omissions are identified.
I would appreciate any such corrections are highlighted to me so that this record can be
an accurate record of the year into the future.
A summary is provided for every species, incorporating the narrative as used in the relevant
species account of the main website, and a summary of previous records by vice-county, and for
the year under review. For species where there were 100 or less records for the year,
these are detailed. Individual recorders are represented by an abbreviation, the lookup
for which can be found here.
