Species ID Suggestions

Comments (31)

While we are happy to accept multiple species spottings along with their interesting stories, being a database program which runs off reports, the scientific name field is our prime species identifier and we ask that the scientific name field concentrates on a single species showing just the Genus + species of that species. Ideally a second spotting can be made for each of any other species noted in the spotting as this will increase the species counts and make them more accurate. Where this is done you make cross references to the other species in the notes section.
