Hello. I have made a limited number of recordings directly onto irecord over the last few years.
In the last few months, I have discovered inaturalist (inat), and I now have over 400 obs entered on that platform. I like using it.
I have been told that (UK) data is much more useful if it is on irecord, but I also understand that there is a daily download from inaturalist to irecord, which I am very pleased about, as it seems I can therefore just keep on using inaturalist.
However, I have finally located the downloaded obs from inat, and I can see that most of my inat obs have NOT been downloaded.
On inat, I have a total of 209 obs that fit the stated criteria for automatic download to irecords; UK, RG, CC-BY etc. I cannot really do anything about the UKSI, but presume it will be correct if it has made RG.
However there are only 43 entries on irecord that relate to my inat obs. (I have been searching All Records, and then filter with my name as the Recorder).
This is very disappointing to me - please can someone explain why this might be, and if there is anything I can do about it?
Thank you in advance for your time.
answering my own question - I have discovered the rest of my (inaturalist) obs by searching for my username as the Recorder, instead of my actual name!
(I have not yet worked out why most of them are listed under my username, but about 20% of them are listed under my actual name.)
