Recording Area

As a group, we have selected an area (based around Scarborough) which we regard as our ‘local patch’.

We take a particular interest in the wildlife which has been seen in this area and are always happy to hear from anyone who has seen something that they would like to share with others.

The ‘Scarborough District’ as defined in the rules of the Society, is as follows using the Ordnance Survey six figure National Grid system :-

From a point just South of Whitby    NZ 930100
South along the coast to Flamborough Head    TA 256700
Due West (inland) in a straight line to a point SE of Malton    SE 800700
North in a straight line (West of Newtondale) to a point South of Ugthorpe (near Whitby)    NZ 800100
Then in a straight line due East back to the coast just South of Whitby    NZ 930100

Note :-
The bold line indicates the boundary between Vice Counties of the Watsonian System (i.e. VC 61 to the South and VC 62 to the North).
