The NBN Atlas has species records and a search function that pulls up records for a specific area. Health warning: The Atlas shows records submitted and not the actual distribution of species. Therefore absence on the map does not mean absence. Some of the records are also quite old and the species may no longer be present.
Devon Biodiversity Records Centre (DBRC) collects, manages and makes available records of wildlife. Note: they may charge depending on the reason for the request.
iNaturalistUK helps you identify wildlife and share records.
