The Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL) is the world\u2019s largest open access digital library for biodiversity literature and archives. BHL is revolutionizing global research by providing free, worldwide access to knowledge about life on Earth.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

About BHL \u2013 Information about the Biodiversity Heritage Library<\/a><\/p>\n

There seems to be a vast collection of biological books that are free to read and download. There is also a twitter account, @BioDivLibrar<\/a> and an amazing Flickr account: Biodiversity Heritage Library<\/a> where there are over a quarter of a million images, many public domain. They have also contributed<\/p>\n

over 2 million BHL images have been uploaded to the IA Book Images Flickr stream<\/a> as part of the Art of Life project<\/a>. These images are identified and uploaded in bulk using an algorithm. They offer a great opportunity for serendipitous discovery via browsing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Library are asking for people to help tag their flickr images and this might be a good activity for secondary pupils?<\/p>\n

Bird Bingo<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nAs a primary teacher, once I’d stopped just raking through some beautiful images I knocked up a quick Bird Bingo game for my class to help with bird identification. It has random cards<\/a> and a caller<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There is page after page of beautiful pictures in the photo stream I defy anyone to leave it quickly. Example page 2094<\/a>!<\/p>\n
