People across Britain have been recording their observations of wildlife for hundreds of years. By providing information on when and where they found a particular species they make a valuable contribution to national distribution datasets collated by volunteer-led schemes and societies.

What We Do




Why We Do It






iRecord logoThe iRecord website is a BRC project that allows anyone, anywhere in the UK, to submit records of any species.

Records are checked by a panel of experts and made available to local record centres and national schemes and societies as well as contributing to the research of BRC.

Mobile Apps

iRecord App iconBRC supports recording using mobile apps. They will make it easier for more people to jon in. By using GPS, camera, clock, and mobile network, we expect to see more records that are more accurate.

iRecord Dragonflies iconWe have built apps for recording butterflies and ladybirds. We have also helped other organisations such as the Environment Agency and the Mammal Society.

iRecord Grasshoppers iconThe sightings go to iRecord, allowing recorders to see all their observations in one place.
