Geographic Description

Primarily within the SEWBReC area (Glamorgan and Gwent) and intersecting with the SEWBReC boundary. There are however additional records from outside this area that have been entered using SEWBReCORD (our online recording webiste) as we maintain the top copy of these records.

Purpose

These records have been collated from a wide variety of sources both recent and historical.

Data quality

The data has been checked with NBN Records Cleaner (29/02/2016), which indicated that many of these records increase the known range for a number of species. Most of the records have been verified by the county recorders. Some will also have been through the iRecord verification process.

Methods

Data have been collated from a wide range of direct observation sources. Method and spatial accuracy of records vary by individual recorder.
