Citizen science observations of wildlife from the British Isles. The project was initially set up to help beginners to identify wildlife but has produced many scientific observations of wildlife from the British Isles and other parts of the world. Some of those who started as beginners have become very knowledgeable in various groups of organisms and help others with identifications. The whole system relies on a reputation system to ensure that identifications are of a high standard.
