Topic: Recommended recording of Camera Traps & Broods
Hello,
I've recently been sent some records with information I'd like to capture (without having to include it all as Taxon Occurrence Comments if possible) but that our system doesn't have qualifier/sample or record type options for. Was just wondering if anyone had standardised methods they were using to record the following, to keep things consistent with other systems?
- No. of broods and brood size. Young chicks etc aren't included in the total abundance count, but it would be useful to be able to record data on broods. I.e. if there were 2 females with a brood each, 5 chicks in one and 6 in the other, is it possible to record this? Adding a brood count of 2 with the brood sizes of 5 & 6 as separate counts for each means that only one brood size count is shown when you make a report.
- Species observations taken from Trip Cameras/Camera Traps. (Add a Sample or Record Type of 'Camera Trap' etc?)
It's possible that there are options already on Recorder that I've missed...
Thanks very much,
Chloe
