iRecord | Manage and share your wildlife records

British Plant Gall Society Survey

This is a recording form for lists of plant gall records from a single site, date, and recorder. They will feed into the British Plant Gall Society Recording Scheme. Importantly, the form includes bespoke fields for host plant and other associated organisms (e.g. inquilines, parasitoids and predators). Click on the end of a row to expand the associated organism fields.

We are in the process of setting up a network of regional verifiers across Britain; if a verifier is not active in your region then hopefully there will be one in the near future. Your records will help to build up our knowledge about gall-causer distributions, ecology, and conservation imperatives.

For identifying gall-causers, we recommend the excellent illustrated keys in British Plant Galls (3rd edition) by Margaret Redfern, Peter Shirley and Michael Bloxham. Updates to the keys are published periodically by Sam Buckton in the 'Files' section of the British Plant Galls Facebook group, which is also a supportive learning community and a great place to obtain identifications of galls you're unsure about. Updates will also be published on the British Plant Gall Society website in the near future.

See also the in-progress checklist of British gall-causer species, which includes advice about recording grades and information about species' national scarcity and recording/conservation priority status. Further information about galls, including a treasure trove of photos, is available elsewhere on the Society's website.

We recommend subscribing to the British Plant Gall Society in order to receive the Society's journal Cecidology, which is the world's only journal dedicated to plant galls. It features articles at the forefront of the fast-moving world of cecidology in Britain and beyond.

Where does the record go?

Many recorders are motivated to record wildlife because they want to ensure that records are available to decision makers, planning authorities, scientists, recording schemes and societies.

My account

iRecord allows you to customise several aspects including the species groups you like to record most often and the region, county or area you most often record in.

Record: Activities for group recording

Activities on iRecord are a way of organizing recording to enable the compilation and reporting of records for particular sites or geographic areas, and for particular species or groups of species; they are a great option for those running a bioblitz.

Explore: View & download records

All non-sensitive records added to iRecord are immediately available for browsing on the Explore pages of the website, with their verification status (i.e. whether they have been checked by an expert and if so, the result) displayed.

Record: Add biological records

iRecord is designed so that it is flexible enough to be used for a huge range of different wildlife recording needs and scenarios, and as such there are a number of different formats in which you can submit records on the iRecord website or mobile App, including a range of recording forms for different purposes, and Activities for group recording.

Butterfly App (2023)

Welcome a summary of data collected by the iRecord Butterflies mobile phone application for 2023. If you have just submitted records, please note that it can take a few minutes for your records to appear on the reports.
