BIRD IDENTIFICATION
www.birdguides.com
A comprehensive guide to British Birds, including photographs and video footage.

BUTTERFLIES
http://www.butterfly-conservation.org
Great for information but is presented by species name rather than by picture, making it difficult to quickly identify something you have seen without going through the 60+ images.
http://www.southwestscotland-butterflies.org.uk
for the branch covering the SW of Scotland.

MOTHS
http://www.ukmoths.org.uk
Site run by Ian Kimber covering most UK species. Not the easiest site to just browse but an extensive collection of pictures and information.

DEER
http://www.deer-uk.com/deer.html
Fairly good site for identifying deer.

WILDFLOWERS
Botanical Society of the British Isles
http://www.botanicalkeys.co.uk
An identification guide, quite detailed. Choose the things you know about a wildflower, submit these and up comes a list of possibilities for you to try.

BUGLIFE
The Invertebrate Conservation Trust
www.buglife.org.uk
Dedicated to the conservation of all invertebrates, and "passionately committed to saving Britain's rarest little animals, everything from bees to beetles, and spiders to snails.
