Topic: Strange Mammal!

Don't know if this post should be here or under Species Dictionary, but I'm guessing it is a Recorder implementation problem rather than Species Dictionary problem!

If I try to create a full list of all my mammal records (i.e. by selecting Taxon="Mammalia" from all relevant lists) this includes "Twite" in the list - err... obviously not a mammal! It does correctly report it is a bird in 'Taxon Informal Group' - I have not yet found which list is causing the problem, I'll report if I find the culprit!

Twite is the ONLY non-mammal reported in this query!

Re: Strange Mammal!

The error would appear to be at a fairly high level as both the Recorder 3.3 list and preferred MAMMALS list include Twite in their output, I've not bothered checking any other lists

Re: Strange Mammal!

Interestingly if I create a query from the preferred Mammal list with "All Taxa from List" then Twite is NOT reported

Re: Strange Mammal!

This is an old issue with the dictionaries I think. Can't remember the details but I think there is an old topic (2010?) in the species dictionary lists - spotted it yesterday when trying to find another old one for Chris's attention
