Default Loch Lomond Run-RSPB survey

OK peeps lets be a little bit useful on the run. The RSPB want to do a survey of insect numbers and all you do is fit a little plate to your number plate and log your miles. Lets see a few plates on the cars.

Go to http://www.rspb.org.uk/bugcount/buzz.asp for more details.

I actually thought there were more SPM (splats per mile) nowadays than there used to be.
Last couple of longish runs in the Scoob and you can hear them constantly splatting away in places, always after a wash too!!

Ian, you certainly like your bugs!!

If you could contact RSPB and get a load, I will hand them out with route map and guidelines.

I tried but when I phoned up they said only one per household. So go on folks make the optimax burned worthwhile.
