The aim of this blog is to promote engagement with nature in Sussex and its surrounding counties and promote the use of public transport to travel to nature sites. All of the nature journeys described in these posts I made by public transport from Brighton. Information about the public transport links is detailed at the beginning of each post. Individual species that I have seen are listed chronologically on my iNatutalist public page and you can see my nature tweets on Twitter @sim_nature. I have done my best to identify species correctly. If you note a mistake in identification please feel free to tell me. If you want to contact me about any aspect of this blog, email me: simeon[underscore]elliott[at]gmail[dot]com.
