Biota: A Personal Record of the Natural World

This site is a personal space for me to collect, identify, and sort my wildlife observations. It serves as a digital notebook for my photography and an exercise in understanding biological classification.

How this site is organized:

  • Classification of Life The core of the project. This is a taxonomic hierarchy where I attempt to sort my finds into their scientific categories. It is an ongoing, time-consuming process and is updated as I identify new species.
  • The Wild World A more casual look at my observations. Here you will find galleries of photos and occasional posts from wildlife walks, primarily around Surrey.

My Other Projects

While Biota focuses on the what of the natural world, my other sites document the where:

  • Walks: Route maps and details of my local treks.
  • Explore: My travel logs and photography from further afield (my most frequently updated site).

Below are my most recents observations on iNaturalist.
