Re: Recording observed activity
Hi
I am now beginning to receive bird records from BTO Atlas fieldwork and they have activity codes in relation to breeding (eg: S for Singing male, N for visiting a probable Nest site, FF for adult carrying Faecal sac or Food for young, etc.
I cannot find any item in R6 Help about 'Activity' in relation to the records I wish to import. Is there a field in R6 that will accept Activity and what label should it use in the Import Wizard? In the Import Wizard, the only field I can see that could possibly be used is 'Sample comment' though that is not really good enough. However, how do we go about getting data into the field 'Sample comment'? The other possible field is 'Observer comment' but that is used for many other comments and is not ideal - a field that is only used to record the activity would be much better.
Is anybody already recording the activity of the various taxa that are observed and how are you doing this?
I look forward to any helpful suggestions!
Thanks in anticipation, Ian
