General discussion

iRecord is a UK-based platform that allows individuals and groups to record observations of wildlife, contributing to national biodiversity data. It supports citizen science by letting users submit species records, complete with location, date, and photos. These records are verified by experts and used by researchers, conservation organizations, and local environmental groups.

I am setting up an activity (MoSR) which is a ribbon-like area (a heritage railway). The site is, unhelpfully near the meeting of four 10km squares and the area includes small parts of each. Because of the narrowness of the area in relation to its length it was not possible to draw the outline precisely enough on a single screen so I had to mark part, move the map along and continue marking the next section. Alas in two or three places the mouse clicks were not of the right sort and my ribbon now has some triangular bulges. I have tried to edit these but with no success whatsoever.

Hi everyone,

I’m curious to know what apps you all use on your iPhone for recording nature and observing wildlife. There seem to be so many out there, from audio recording tools to species identification apps, and I’d love to hear your recommendations.

What’s your go-to app for recording bird songs, identifying plants, or tracking wildlife sightings? Are there any hidden gems that you think more people should know about?

Hello! I'm new here! 

I've submitted 2 records using the SRS (spider recording scheme) submission forms. I can't find any record of my submissions however. Are they located anywhere and will I be told if a submission is successful? 

Thanks, 

Daniel 

Can you please advise on how to add "Activity Summary"? 

I have two Activities. One has "Activity Summary", the other does not. I find "Activity Summary" useful and I wish to have it in both of my wildlife recording projects. 

Many thanks, 

Andrea

I haven't been able to acknowledge my notifications for the last couple of days.

I get an error message

This record: https://irecord.org.uk/record-details?occurrence_id=38845071 was entered on the app as TL 67 and is showing on the app as TL 67. however in my-records is showing as TL 66. When I view further details, the grid ref calculated is TL 67. 

A number of conservation volunteers are starting to use iRecord to input records, however, they are wondering what can aid with verification. 

1. Are the expert reviewers able to view the comment section for records for recorders to add information to support the identification?

2.  Is there a way to contact or appeal a verification if the recorder disagrees with it? 

    

   Thank you.
