Thanks to RSPB staff and volunteers for assisting the 'pop up lab’ pitfall session today. We sorted through 170 pitfalls, categorising the invertebrates. We are comparing change in fauna and flora prior to, and after the removal of rats on St Agnes and Gugh. We also have samples from control sites on Bryher.
We sorted many woodlice, spiders, springtails and much more.
