Latest reports in reverse date order

Survey reports 2009

f = glowing females, m = males, l = larvae. Date of maximum numbers only is shown. Grid references are given only for publicly accessible sites. For more information about the UK Glow Worm Survey please go to www.glowworms.org.uk

In some cases I'm now adding a link to Streetmap.co.uk to the location. Bear in mind that glow worms are often spread over an area, so this may be the place to start looking.
