City Nature Challenge 2023 Results

Hello everyone,

The results are now in for the City Nature Challenge 2023 and as you can see from the graphic attached it has been another fantastic year for the global City Nature Challenge with 46 countries taking part and some 1.9 Million observations covering 57,200 species being recorded globally over the four day recording period. The most observed species globally was the Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos).

Hull’s results are available to view here on the iNaturalist Project page and include 4180 observations of some 854 species being observed by a very committed group of over 60 observers. The majority of observations were of plants (53.58%) with birds (7.87%), amphibians (0.35%) and Mammals (0.94%), whilst insects made up 23.62% these included many species of flies, bees, bugs and butterflies including the Common Brimstone which is one of Hull’s priority species.

This is a fantastic achievement by all concerned and Hull has definitely punched above its weight (globally and nationally) in terms of observations made and species recorded for its area and the number of participants. Hull did remarkably well in the UK for its first year of participation, coming a very respectable 7th in the UK.

The team here at NEYEDC would once more like to thank you all for being involved.

Robin
