This dataset comprises all of the reptile records held by Derbyshire Biological Records Centre and covers the period 1950 a^?? 2015. Species included are adder, grass snake, common lizard and slow-worm. The dataset is entirely composed of positive sightings. Some records are tagged as sensitive for conservation reasons.

Purpose

The records have been captured during site surveys for conservation purposes in relation to potential development work or improving knowledge and understanding of reptile distribution and population trends in Derbyshire.

Sampling Description

Method steps

  1. The dataset has been validated and maintained by Derbyshire Wildlife Trust in partnership with Derbyshire Amphibian and Reptile Group. The records have been generated by volunteers and professionals. Survey methods are variable and do include a large number of casual sightings by members of the public. Some records are generted by professional surveys undertaken as a result of development proposals.

Taxonomic Coverages

Geographic Coverages

The data relates to the administrative county of Derbyshire and records have been collected from across the entire County. The records are mainly site based, and as such many have been entered onto the Trusta^??s database using a six figure grid reference for the site.
