We are up and away with (Dark-Edged) Bee-Fly sightings

We hadn't intended to submit any Bee-Fly records to iRecord his year since it can get quite fiddly (and if we are to be honest, tedious) supplying individual Grid References. But we decided to lump all sightings for 2023 together (when appropriate) with the qualification that sightings are, 'within or adjacent to the Grid Reference' and this has been accepted.
