The hunt takes place on Easter Sunday for anything that swims, flies, grows, crawls.

Discover the nature that lives around and in your home, local reserve or further afield.

BioBlitz is a scientific race against time to count as many different species as you can in a 24-hour period. Throughout Easter Sunday you can become a Citizen Scientist, it's up to you whether you spend an hour or all day as a Nature Detective.
