Since September 2003 the author has been making a minimum intervention study of a square metre of land and the immediate surrounding area in his garden in the East Sussex Weald at Sedlescombe near Hastings, UK. By April 2016 over 1000 species of plants and animals (none of which has been deliberately introduced) had been recorded and the area featured on many TV and radio shows including Spring Watch, and The One Show.

Millipedes return
Yesterday a fine large flat-back millipede, Nanogona polydesmoides,turned up under a piece of wood in M3. They disappear for most of the winter, but are common in a range of sizes in the warmer months. This is designated a UK BAP Species of Conservation Concern since, though widespread and often common in Britain, it is apparently rare in mainland Europe.
