Needs confirmation by an expert.

Submitted by Ian McDonald on

Before saying this record needs confirmation by an expert, I suggest you look at the accompanying photo. I sent a record of a Walrus in Scotland with three photos. You don,t need to be an expert to identify the animal.

iRecord has a thing called the record cleaner, which generates automated messages based on a range of conditions, such as if something is rare, difficult to identify or only found in a certain part of the country. The idea is that they act as as a sort of check, so the observer knows that the record might be unusual and just double-checks it. These messages are automatic and triggered by the details entered - verifying the record, which will involve checking the photos, is done later by a human, In this case, a record of a Walrus is a rare species so the record will indeed need confirmation from a verifier, but that will be very straightforward thanks to your photos.

So in short, you can ignore messages like this if you have attached photos, that isn't taken into account.
