Data Holdings

Below are presented two tables exported from locally held databases. The tables are a sub-set of metadata which are presented here to provide more information on the data we hold. The tables should be considered an overview rather than absolute detail and the information will change more frequently than is presented here.

If you are interested in more information on any of the datasets below then please do contact us. Literature is not currently presented on this page. Any relevant reports or documents are being added to the document library on this website here.

The first table outlines the species data we hold. This table is generated directly from our Recorder 6 database

Species Data Holdings

Table containing an overview of species datasets held in the MBB Recorder 6 database. Datasets are created to hold species records from a particular source. A source can broadly be defined as an individual that records regularly, an organisation with which we have a data sharing agreement or a project which collected species observations using a specific methodology. Last updated 13th July 2022.

Much of the record harvesting is done by volunteers. The procedure adopted is to populate a specially designed spreadsheet with the records. The data in this spreadsheet is then validated by an in-house program called 'Record Harvesting Tool'. The same tool also formats the data for import into Recorder. All the original details of the report - including the title etc - are stored in an XML marked-up comment in the record. In this way the full provenance of the record - including many different types of comments made by the person harvesting it - are preserved in the Recorder record. Note that some records harvested by the procedure described above are imported into other surveys - notably those for Local Wildlife Site monitoring. This survey mostly contains records harvested during 2015(BD01062016)1503
Ami Weir GeneralRecords provided by Ami Weir. MBAN member/lead, TBS Trainee and very active local naturalist and ecologist.

RODIS 2011This survey was established to support records entered via RODIS in 2011. It is not feasible to split records submitted via RODIS into different taxonomic groups, so they will all go into this survey. This includes records imported into RODIS via the Excel import facility.1361
RODIS AdminRecords that have been automatically verified prior to submission via RODIS. These largely contain Mammal records with some Bat data. From Jan 2014 Admin records will be kept in year sets. This is in order to reflect the increased usage of RODIS and it's verification process'.(BD22052013)1326
Local Wildlife Site MonitoringRecords resulting from visits to Local Wildlife Sites as part of the standard MEAS monitoring protocol. These records are often included as 'target notes' on the LWS monitoring sheets and are passed to us by MEAS. Some of these records have been captured using our 'Record Harvesting' procedures. Others were captured by more conventional transcription from electronic reports to Excel spreadsheet before import. The Record Harvesting procedure populates a specially designed spreadsheet with the records. The data in this spreadsheet is then validated by an in-house program called 'Record Harvesting Tool'. The same tool also formats the data for import into Recorder. All the original details of the report - including the title etc - are stored in an XML marked-up comment in the record. In this way the full provenance of the record - including many different types of comments made by the person harvesting it - are preserved in the Recorder record.1322

Environment Agency 2011 - InvertebratesRecords provided by Sue Salmon of the Environment Agency on 24/10/2011, observers are rarely named and in some cases abundances may be estimates and not relate exactly to given grid references which may or may not locate the record or be a 'centroid' to a stretch of brook or water body. Indication as to verification status has not been provided by the EA and so records are subject to standard MBB record verification procedure. Some site location names, observer names and comments were truncated in the original data but an effort has been made to clarify this information where possible either through completing location names or removing incomplete recorder names or comments where appropriate.BD29112011882

Tony Carter Fungi 2011Records of fungi from fungal forays in 2011 by Antony Carter sent to RJB on 4th Jan 2012.----Dear Richard Burkmar. I have attached the Merseyside records for 2011. Of interest. 1. A good number of Morchella elata at Ainsdale in early Spring. 2. Clitocybe vermicularis is still to be found at Ainsdale despite extensive removal of tree cover. Ainsdale is one of the very few sites in the UK for this fungus 3. Melanoleuca verrucipes at Calderstones Park. This is a southern species. I know of one other record for the NW at Manchester. Specimen sent to Kew Herbarium. 4. Echinoderma asperum at Calderstones Park. Another southern species on the move north. 5. Phaeolepiota aurea at Calderstones Park. Red Data List species. 6. Rubinoboletus rubinus at Heath Rd, Liverpool 18 Red Data List vulnerable (on the dual carriageway). Specimen sent to Kew. 7. Stropharia halophila at Ainsdale & Birkdale Hills NR. Only 4 previous UK records.Red Data List vulnerable. Specimen sent to Kew. 8. Hypholoma tuberosum. The star of the year. The first record for the UK. Previous records for South Australia and Vancouver. So how did it get here? Found at Allerton Allotments. Liverpool 18. The key may be that it grows with peat. Subject of an article in Field Mycology. Specimens at Kew Herbarium. I have photos of all of these and some articles published locally and nationally. Tony Carter----739

BCT Roost Visit DataThese data relate to information provided directly by BCT. Records are generated from 'bat line' roost call outs where a concerned member of the public alerts the organisation to bats within their property, a local volunteer then visits the property, completed forms are provided back to BCT. Confirmed records of roosts are then provided to LRCs for local service provision and also to the local bat group. In some instances we also receive roost visit records direct from the visitor and so some duplication of information may result.(BD10022015)681
RODIS General Ben DeedThis survey was established to support records entered via RODIS in 2012. This survey is used where it is not feasible to split records submitted via RODIS into different taxonomic groups, or attribute them to one particular individual so they will all go into this survey. This includes records imported into RODIS via the Excel import facility.(BD12032012)672
RODIS ad hoc 2020This data set contains those records submitted through RODIS that cannot be grouped into an individuals dataset. Primarily this relates to those records received by other means and entered through RODIS using the rodis ad hoc records entry form. (SN02122020)670

Louise Wisniewski BatsThis dataset is derived from paper diaries, notebooks and roost reports supplied to Merseyside BioBank by Louise Wisniewski early in 2010. The records were harvested mainly by Nadia Karami over about six months through 2010 using the standard MBB report record harvesting procedures. Nadia checked for duplicate records as she went along by checking against a dump of all our bat records which RJB made to a KML file (she compared them in Google Earth). (RJB Oct 2010.)643

Tony Carter Fungi 2010This recordset contains all Tony Carter's fungal foray records for 2010. From an email sent to RJB by Tony Carter on 1st Jan 2011:>>>I have attached my foray records for 2010. There are different from past records because we have changed some of the information at the request of BMS. Currently, BMS members are being asked to go through all past records to check for inaccuracies and then validate them. First to check valid names of fungi and synonyms in order to weed out duplication.Then to check names of sites to address the problem of different names being given to the same site. Although this should not be a problem if the OS Grid Ref is correct. Finally, to check the grid references against the site information. Whilst we have traditionally used a 6 figure reference for a site, frequently this will be the meeting point. As fungi forays usually spread out as a number of people are engaged, this point quickly becomes irrelevant as soon as they move out of the 100metre square. Ainsdale is a particular example. Sometimes the meeting point is some distance from the foray site. We have therefore moved to using a 4 fig. grid reference as being more relevant, although, in my view, this creates a different problem, as it might be in the middle of the Irish Sea. If we use a 6 figure reference, we should include a Grid Qualifier ie 'Site Centroid'. We can use 8 or 10 figs and add a qualifying tab as to whether the reference is from a map or GPS etc. I hope this makes sense and I can give you a copy of the BMS review document if you so wish.<<<(RJB Jan 2011.)630
Association of British Fungus GroupsThese data were supplied to MBB by the AFBG (Michael Jordan) originally in October 2010 as part of a data exchange. The records can be considered verified and are consequently imported with the verifier set to Michael Jordan. Originally some 3200 records were supplied for all hectads intersected by our area (RJB supplied Michael with a list of hectads), but we agreed to extract and import only those records intersecting our area which amounted, on first import, to some 600 records.There is a lot of information in the records as supplied which was xml formatted into the comment field using CSV plus.(RJB Oct 2011.)625

BCT NBMP Survey DataRecords of bats recorded as part of the BCT National Bat Monitoring Program. Further metadata, including survey methodology, is available from the BCT or MBB import file D261.Records were provided from the BCT by Philip Briggs following a request for the information sent by Rich Burkmar, the data is held on behalf of the MWLBG as the records fall within their area.These records are exculded from NBNG exports and may in some cases duplicate records sent directly to MBB following their NBMP survey.Grid ref resolutionsLast year we introduced a new section on NBMP survey forms enabling the volunteer to specify at what resolution they would like the record to be supplied to bat groups. In the past, volunteers have sometimes specified that a roost or hibernation site should be treated as confidential but it has not always been clear whether this applies when passing the data to a bat group. This new system will enable information on confidentiality to be specified more unambiguously and in a format that is simple for us to process.The options for grid ref resolution are: 100m, 1km, 10km, or do not supply. If there are no concerns about site confidentiality volunteers are encouraged to tick the 100m box. If no boxes are ticked then the grid ref will be supplied to bat groups at a default resolution of 100m, but this can be changed in future data feeds on request. The majority of volunteers who have returned forms so far have ticked the 100m box. Recorder namesVolunteers are also asked to tick a box indicating that they are happy for their name to be included with data passed to bat groups. This is to bring the handling of this information in line with the data we supply to the NBN, where it is recommended that permission is sought from each recorder before including their names with data supplied to a third party. There are still some volunteers who have yet to return these forms with the box ticked which means that you will find that some records currently have "Observer name undisclosed" under Observer name. When we send you future updates we should have received more survey forms with this box ticked and several more records in your data feed will have observer name listed. The majority of volunteers who have returned forms so far have ticked the box permitting their name to be included with data supplied to bat groups. I hope you find the data useful in the new format, but if you have you have any comments or suggestions for future improvements then please let me know and we will see what we can do to incorporate these.(BD13032012)593
Natterjack monitoring 2004These are records from Natterjack monitoring carried out in 2004 by a number of different organisations and individuals and passed to Graeme Skelcher for the production of the annual Sefton Coast Natterjack report. Graeme provided these to MBB in Feburary 2011 at the request of RJB after first asking the contributors if there were any objections to him so-doing. Since none were raised, he sent us all the data.

Dave Earl Mammals to May 2010These are records supplied to MBB by Dave Earl in May 2010 in response to a request for records for the Merseyside and West Lancs Mammal Atlas Project. From Dave's email: "Here are my records from Mapmate. The West Lancashire records are probably duplicates as most should be held on Recorder 6 at Preston. Note also that the extract is a bounding box so there will be records outside of North Merseyside and West Lancashire."569
Damian Young Court Hey ParkPlants and animals from Court Hey Park and the National Wildflower Centre (2001 through to 2010) supplied by Damian Young - initially in 2010 as a series of taxonomic lists in Word documents. There were no specific references, so all records have been assigned to the main 1km square covered by Court Hey Park, though the park also covers parts of other 1km squares (noted in the comments of each record). Many of the plant species themselves may have been recorded within the bounds of the Wildflower Centre itself and cannot be considered as natural! Therefore all plant records in this dataset have been given a determination type of 'Requires Confirmation' which means that their verification status is 'Failed/Pending Verification'. That means that they will not be reported on during the normal course of Recorder 6 reporting. The records were 'harvested' from the Word documents using the standard MBB record harvesting procedure.568
Phil Smith Vascular Plants 2010These records were supplied by Phil Smith to Merseyside BioBank in Excel spreadsheets on a monthly basis. Phil agreed with Dave Earl (BSBI Vice County plant recorder for VC 59) that he would supply all his post 2005 vascular plant records to Merseyside BioBank since the cut-off date for including results in the new atlas for VC59 is 2005. This was agreed at an Information Advisory Group meeting in August 2010. (RJB Oct 2010.)568
Bugworld Albert DockRecords from The BugWorld Experience "River Mersey" display tank. Specimens collected daily from the Albert Dock in front of BugWorld. Contents were returned each evening when BugWorld closed. Records also include occasional sightings of other species not suitable for the tank, i.e vertebrate species. These records were kept by Laura Carter when she worked at the BugWorld Experience and passed to MBB by her. (RJB Oct 2010.)559

School RODISRecords from MBB School RODIS. These records were imported 24/12/2010 from School RODIS. They were exported from School RODIS using the export feature - the School RODIS file was not actually submitted (in order to keep the records visible from School RODIS). Therefore when exported again, the whole recordset will need to be replaced. Note that in order to keep things simple, all records are imported under one username - School RODIS. The name of the individual recorder is retained in the location name and the record comment. All records are imported with a determination type of 'requires confirmation'. (RJB Dec 2010.)549
Report Harvest 2012 10-12Records in this survey can be from any taxonomic group. The feature they all have in common is that they are all harvested from paper reports sent to MBB - often by MEAS. Much of the record harvesting is done by volunteers. The procedure adopted is to populate a specially designed spreadsheet with the records. The data in this spreadsheet is then validated by an in-house program called 'Record Harvesting Tool'. The same tool also formats the data for import into Recorder. All the original details of the report - including the title etc - are stored in an XML marked-up comment in the record. In this way the full provenance of the record - including many different types of comments made by the person harvesting it - are preserved in the Recorder record. Note that some records harvested by the procedure described above are imported into other surveys - notably those for Local Wildlife Site monitoring. This survey mostly contains records harvested from Oct to Dec. 2012.(BD22012013)548

Report Harvest 2014Records in this survey can be from any taxonomic group. The feature they all have in common is that they are all harvested from reports sent to MBB - often by MEAS. Much of the record harvesting is done by volunteers. The procedure adopted is to populate a specially designed spreadsheet with the records. The data in this spreadsheet is then validated by an in-house program called 'Record Harvesting Tool'. The same tool also formats the data for import into Recorder. All the original details of the report - including the title etc - are stored in an XML marked-up comment in the record. In this way the full provenance of the record - including many different types of comments made by the person harvesting it - are preserved in the Recorder record. Note that some records harvested by the procedure described above are imported into other surveys - notably those for Local Wildlife Site monitoring. This survey mostly contains records harvested during 2014(BD01062016)500

For the rest I entered 2009 then added a date for each as I came across it in 2010.I was careful only to enter species that I knew the time place and context of seeing the species. There are now very few remaining that do not have an actual date assigned to them.

Brown Hare 1 km square surveyThis recordset is used for records collected as part of the 'standardised' 1km square Brown Hare survey originally organised for North Merseyside in 2008 by Richard Burkmar (then NM BAP manager) in association with MBB (Helen Greaves), at the suggestion of Jane Ashley who was the BAP manager for Lancashire at the time. It was originally seen as an extension to the Lancashire Wildlife Trust survey which had been going on for some years. In 2009 and 2010 Helen Greaves took on the mantle of organising the survey for MBB. Latterly it has extended to include West Lancashire with North Merseyside - partly in order to support the creation of the new Merseyside and West Lancashire Mammal Group. (RJB Oct 2010.)154

Report Harvest 2013 04-06Records in this survey can be from any taxonomic group. The feature they all have in common is that they are all harvested from paper reports sent to MBB - often by MEAS. Much of the record harvesting is done by volunteers. The procedure adopted is to populate a specially designed spreadsheet with the records. The data in this spreadsheet is then validated by an in-house program called 'Record Harvesting Tool'. The same tool also formats the data for import into Recorder. All the original details of the report - including the title etc - are stored in an XML marked-up comment in the record. In this way the full provenance of the record - including many different types of comments made by the person harvesting it - are preserved in the Recorder record. Note that some records harvested by the procedure described above are imported into other surveys - notably those for Local Wildlife Site monitoring. This survey mostly contains records harvested from April to June 2013.(BD20092013)143

We translated these to single grid references as best we could at MBB. (RJB Oct 2010.)135
Gorse Hill Small Mammal TrappingFrom an email from Fiona to Rich Burkmar (MBB) dated 26/10/2010 in response to a query about who the recorders are for these data: "The small mammal survey team consist of three people - John Boyce, Dennis Walton and myself - Fiona Taylor. I am the one responsible for recording the data. Dr. Alan Bedford ( Edge Hill University ) has trained us to identify and sex the mammals. He kindly attends every Saturday morning, along with his wife Hilary." Fiona sends these records (I'm not sure in what format) to Laura Carter of the Merseyside & West Lancashire Mammal Group who collates them into an MBB record harvesting template (which she is familiar with due to the time she spent doing this work here at MBB) and then sends to RJB.

Liverpool Museum Bat SpecimensClem Fisher - Curator of Vertebrate Zoology at the museum - as well as a leading light of Merseyside & West Lancs Bat Group described the provenance of these records thus (to RJB): these records relate to dead bats sent to Liverpool by Defra. Defra collect any dead bat reported to them anywhere in the country and test the brains of all of them for rabies. Those (few) that have rabies, they keep, and the rest are sent to Liverpool's or Edinburgh's museum collections for curating. (I'm not sure how they decide what bat goes where.) Tony Parker supplied MBB with printouts of the details of these curated bat specimens. Ben Deed - MBB- went through the list and extracted any that pertained to the area covered by the Merseyside & West Lancs Bat Group. We asked Tony who should be credited with recording/determining the records. He responded: "The agency will not give out personal details of the people who actually find the bats, as far as I am aware they are identified by Tony Hutson formerly of BCT so we have no involvement in the process." In view of this, we decided to use 'Defra' as the recorder and determiner and, in view of their provenance, we imported them all with a determination type of 'considered correct'. (RJB Dec. 2010.)126

Lichens of Sefton Coast Sand Dune SystemThese records were harvested from a PDF copy of an old typed report in the possession of Merseyside BioBank. The header of the report reads as follows: "Licens from the Sefton Coast Sand Dune System. Mostly the NNR. Extracted from published reports of Wheldon & Travis (1915), Salisbury (1950) and unpublished records by B. D. Greenwood (1979)." There is a handwritten note at the head of the report which looks like: "Compiled 1991 by AS Gunn" (but not sure if it is Gunn). The 1979 records may be duplicated elsewhere in the database as indicated by this extract from an email sent to Aless Castagni by RJB dated 11/10/2010: " I found a paper document in our files which is a compilation of three lichen lists for the Sefton Coast which includes the 1979 Greenwood list to which you referred. [...]. These records have not been captured into our DB at present, but I noted from the report I have generated that many of the records date from 1979. When I traced the provenance of these records, I found that they were supplied to us by the Museum but that the original source/recorder was not noted. These records may very well be those from the Greenwood list[...]."(RJB Nov 2010.)119

BCT VLA Passive Surveillance 2005-2010Records of bats from the Bat Conservation Trust through the VLA (Vetinary Laboratories Agency's) passive surveillance programme. Records relate to bats brought in between 2005 and 2010 from Merseyside and Lancashire."ID confirmed by Tony Hutson"(BD22122011)Additional note on species identification from Tony:"I try to apply some consistent approach to the identifications of theVLA bats. And I should add that in the UK (as we encourage in allEuropean countries - e.g. see EUROBATS Resolution 5.2), we recommendthat the identification of all submitted bats is 'verified'.With the (full-grown) pipistrelles, basically all I can do is examinethe bats to separate Nathusius's and Kuhl's pipistrelle bats (or anyother species that might turn up, e.g. Savi's) from common/sopranopipistrelle bats. I cannot easily or reliably separate pipistrellus andpygmaeus (I am not sure how reliable many of the morphologicalcharacters are, and they are not all always available to me in thesespecimens anyway, especially colour etc). Also when I visit the lab I amidentifying 180-200 bats per day - if I was to try to separate P.pipistrellus and pygmaeus it would slow me down tremendously and I wouldprobably fail in many or most cases).There are some pipistrelle bats that come in identified as P.pygmaeus.Many come in identified as P.pipistrellus. And some come in without anidentification. Where they are submitted as pygmaeus, I assume that thisis based on some effort or knowledge to separate the two species, but Ido not know how reliable are the identifications as submitted - theymay or may not be well-founded. For those that come in asP.pipistrellus, I have no idea whether anybody has made any effort toseparate them and so I don't know how many of these are actuallyP.pygmaeus.I therefore consider it best for the purposes of this project to treatall such bats as P.pipistrellus/ pygmaeus. They should be in the database as P.pip/pyg rather than P.pip. Where the local bat group has extrainformation or knowledge and is confident of a particular speciesidentification it, of course, can over-ride my identification and acceptits species identification for its records.Any bat still with its milk teeth or not enough development of adultteeth to identify it go as Pipistrelle sp ('Pip'). I would accept thatthe chances are that these are P.pip/pyg, and that the submitter mayhave site knowledge that can confirm the species present. But for thepurposes of this exercise they are listed as Pipistrelle sp in the database, but can be treated as P.pip/pyg in any reports etc.For some specimens I use the same approach for Plecotus spp.Once a bat has a sufficient set of adult teeth it is recorded asjuvenile until such time as I cannot confidently identify it as juvenile(on digit joints etc), when it is recorded as adult.I hope you will understand that these bats come in in a wide range ofconditions and all end up in a tube of formalin. Some also come in afterbeing used for some other studies and so there may be only a head oreven part of a head. The facilities at the lab are somewhat limited andI do take a number home (c.10%) for further examination, but these tendto be things other than clear P.pip/pyg. Once the bats get to a museum(and don't forget that all these specimens end up in a national museum)they are usually transferred to alcohol and are easier to examine butthey remain a little brittle from the formalin.However, if anybody wants to have a go at separating the two species,the specimens are there. I have also discussed for some time with VLAthe possibility of getting all (or a sufficient sample) of batssubmitted as pygmaeus and a 'random' sample of P.pipistrellus checked byDNA to see how often submitted identifications are correct or otherwise.On the latter point I should say that things are very much better thesedays than when I started this. In the early days of the rabiessurveillance scheme, about one third of the submitted bats were notidentified and a further third misidentified. These days the number ofunidentified submissions is much lower and the number ofmisidentifications is also low - all credit to the bast groups for that."76

Common Lizard National Trust FormbyRecords from NMARG report provided by Mike Brown. The study was conducted of Common Lizard at the National Trust land at Formby. Method: "The method of recording involved visual searches in suitable weather conditions, a crucial and often frustrating aspect of reptile surveying. The technique is to quietly approach south facing banks with at least 50 to 90% vegetation cover, and from a standing position, examine sandy patches and ground cover for basking lizards. For optimum results, morning is generally best between 8am and 11 am, particularly in sunny conditions. In mid-summer in can become hot very quickly, after which, detecting lizards is unlikely. Best conditions appear to be warm, intermittent sun with light to no wind, becoming 'muggy' when it may be possible to find lizards up until early evening.Each animal was recorded using a Garmin GPS recorder and grid references made for each individual. Where possible, photographs were taken as each individual (Sand and Common) has unique body patterns which can be useful for identifying individuals thus aiding the calculation of estimated population. This survey was carried out during April to June, generally considered to be the optimum time for high lizard activity. It has to be noted however that 2012 experienced record rainfall and unusually cool temperatures which persisted into May. This at times hampered the continuity of the survey."26

Report Harvest 2013 07-09Records in this survey can be from any taxonomic group. The feature they all have in common is that they are all harvested from paper reports sent to MBB - often by MEAS. Much of the record harvesting is done by volunteers. The procedure adopted is to populate a specially designed spreadsheet with the records. The data in this spreadsheet is then validated by an in-house program called 'Record Harvesting Tool'. The same tool also formats the data for import into Recorder. All the original details of the report - including the title etc - are stored in an XML marked-up comment in the record. In this way the full provenance of the record - including many different types of comments made by the person harvesting it - are preserved in the Recorder record. Note that some records harvested by the procedure described above are imported into other surveys - notably those for Local Wildlife Site monitoring. This survey mostly contains records harvested from July to Sep. 2013.(BD01062016)12
