Re: Nest recording scheme cards
HI all,
I am about to spend some of my spare time attempting to create an equivalent of the British Trust for Ornithology Nest record card for R6.10. I as yet have no idea how well it will work.
Basically, this card in its paper version has a location, grid ref, obsever, a set of habitat details, description of the nest location, and then several line for visits to the nest. these latter obviously happen at a set of dates over time and have counts of eggs, young, and activity codes for adults, along with outcome codes (eg successful, predation, etc). So, I thought that the recorder version might look something like a card being an event, and each visit being an occurence. Obviously, I may need to add some activity codes (I will work through Charles recent post re bird atlas codes to start me on that) but I wondered before I went too far if I was re-inventing the wheel and someone else had already done this?
