Insects

Four: a bumble bee, a beetle that kills ash trees, and two rare dune and fen specialists that are looked at rather than approached.

The number on each card is how many public observation records exist for the archipelago. It is not an abundance and not a probability of seeing one: a record means somebody reported the species and filed it publicly, so conspicuous animals and well-watched places both score high — and a zero can mean the animal is absent, or only that nobody looked.

2 of these carry a caution. Those species are protected, rare or colonial nesters: photograph from distance with a long lens, or not at all. A failed nest is not worth a frame.
