British Wildlife Guide http://www.lineone.net/wildlife/index.html
There are plenty of websites dedicated to UK wildlife out there, but few of them are as well put-together or have as many species in one place as this one. As well as a minor crash course in conservation, advice on wildlife photography and information about all kinds of British habitat, youÕll find a massive collection of factfiles and pictures of just about every creature in the nation.
Before you get into the individual species, you can read a little about the ways that scientists categorise different types of organisms - animals with and without backbones, for example. Then delve into the database, which is divided up into clear and logical sections like ÔmammalsÕ, ÔbirdsÕ and ÔinsectsÕ. Each takes you to a list of species to browse - click one to bring up a short account, complete with photograph and a set of links to related information.
There are a couple of disappointments, however. Though you can browse all the factfiles by group and alphabetically, the lists of species can get rather large and unwieldy. If youÕre looking for a particular organism, you could have some trouble unless you know the Latin as well as English name - annoyingly, you wonÕt find Ôburying beetleÕ under ÔBÕ, itÕs down as Ôinsect - Nicrophorus vespilloidesÕ under ÔinsectsÕ, and thatÕs a big section. There is a search facility, though this seems to be set up to scour everything in the site apart from the wildlife database, which isnÕt a great deal of help, letÕs face it. Overall, if you do have time to persevere, itÕs worth it.
