  Maintained by Trevor and Dilys Pendleton, eakringbirds.com is an increasingly comprehensive natural history web resource for Eakring and the Sherwood Forest area of Nottinghamshire. The main objective of this website, is to monitor the birds found around the villages of Eakring and Kersall, recording migrants, breeding numbers and looking for the occasional rarity etc. However, an ever increasing amount of webspace has also been given over to recording the invertebrate fauna of Eakring and Sherwood Forest NNR. This may not be to everyone's interest, but part of our aim is to help stimulate a greater interest and awareness within all aspects of Nottinghamshire natural history. This website has 2 134 pages, containing nearly 4 000 images of 1 676 species, most of which feature many Nottinghamshire invertebrates for the first time.
