Recording froglets

Submitted by HS Rangers on

Just hoping for some guidance on recording froglets on the mobile app. When it comes to 'stage' it only has other/juvenile/adult. Which category would a froglet come under? It's in its final 'adult' form, but not yet reached sexual maturity so would this still count as a juvenile? 

Thanks for any help

Only half site surveyed

Submitted by arevelle@btint… on

I went to survey my 5 locations in my designated area but could only complete two of the locations. This was becuase as I was travelling from my 2nd location, to the 3rd location, it started to rain heavily. So I decide to abandon the survey for the other 3 locations. Would I still need to survey those 3 locations, as it should have been my 4th visit, as I have just completed my 5th visit to all locations today.

"Grid is outside known range"

Submitted by J.M.Heap on

I recently entered a couple of hoverfly records (now verified) which initially came up with the standard automated "Grid is outside known range" message. However, both species involved were recorded and verified last year from the same locality. How come the now-known range does not seem to include these earlier records - or are they still regarded as mere outliers of a more contiguous range? Or, perhaps, it's a case of a time lag for records to be added to the 'known range'?
