Sure Marta. Thanks. I am fine either ways.Wish you good luck in establishing your mission. We are very fortunate to have people like you who have really been such an asset to the Project Noah community.You bring a lot of joy to us. Thanks for all you do!
@Emma: Let´s keep chatting by email. Are you in FB? I will email you. I am sure there will be a nice solution for both missions. Ultimately we can make it local: you cover waterbirds from America and I do waterbirds from Europe. But let´s wait to see what Peter and Yasser say, OK? Cheers!
Hi Emma, I have asked the organizers personally in an email and when they reply I will get back to you and see what can be done.
Marta ,but I received a note saying that I have to take spottings which are within a 300 mile radius of my location only. They seem to be firm about that. They want it to be local.They want to increase the range bit by bit. But not global at once.
@Emma: You can make a mission global by displacing your location in the map to the middle of an ocean. It will still show among the local missions but if you say of the world, people from everywhere will add spottings (as long as they browse local missions other than the assigned ones to their region). As yours is waterbirds is also very interesting since it includes many more types (e.g. seagulls, petrels, herons.. etc). My new mission can be more specific for duckies although people can also include the duckies in yours ;-)
Marta,my mission no longer exists!!
Oops..I did not know. Yours include more waterbirds. I will include my spottings on it too. The mission I made can be focused on ducks and alike :-)
Marta , I had begun a similar mission,but I retired it because they told me i could not make it global http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8995395
