Thanks Debbie Found the maps. They make interesting statistical data!
Thats ok Micolo, it can get a bit confusing sometimes. to help you understand future missions objectives you can find the objective information and also the range map in the tabs at the top of the mission page which will tell you what you can include and where you can include it from :-) Migrating birds in the mission are great as it means Noah can see how many and what time of year birds are migrating to and from the country. Thankyou for all your contributions so far!
Thanks for your advice Debbie With being new to project Noah I wasn't sure whether to put a "migrating" bird into Birds of Britain. I take it that's OK? Thanks Micolo
Hi Micolo, I noticed you have only included this in one mission but you can include the same photo in 5 missions so if you could continue adding your British spottings to the birds of Britain mission aswell as the global one that would be much appreciated. Thanks Debbie.
