Days are getting shorter and colder but a few outings working on the Botanical Society Urban Flora project has turned up almost 180 species of vascular plant (250spp overall including a few bryophytes, lichens and fungi). I've spent about an hour in each 1k square - lunchtimes, which is usually enough to record between 50 and 70 species. It's amazing how many of them are in flower in late November. With a few visits about 300 records seems to be enough to log 100 vascular plants for a town. Haven't even started on Dunfermline yet, though.
Also they seem to include parks and woodlands, which means my Dalgety Bay records will run to about 800 species already if I can figure out how to import them
