How do I report Giant Hogweed?

Submitted by PhilPlant on

Hi, I think I found a Giant Hogweed plant and the Gov website sent me here to report it but I'm not sure how to. 

I have photos but when I click the photo button above, nothing happens. (When I click the video or table buttons, a pop up appears so I'm assuming the photo button isn't working 🤷🏻‍♂️).

Any advice please?

Verified sighting

Submitted by juliansidney@o… on

I haven't had my butterfly sightings verified for a couple of months now, 200 or so records on the iRecord butterfly app, is this normal ?

My records have been up loaded and I have appeared on the trending page with photos are being used, would be nice to know what I am reporting is correct.

Any help would be appreciated 

How Do I stop Edited Areas being relocated to Africa?

Submitted by Malcolm MacGarvin on

So … I'll be working on refining the shape of an area, all looks ok. I save the edits, get a 'success' message, open the site and find it now in Africa, even though the GB Grid Ref anchoring (I assume) the site appears ok?

See screenshot. Has anybody else experienced this and - more significantly - found a way to stop this happening?

Recording

Submitted by Ray Stones on

I'm new to the site & not an expert naturalist. I was looking forward to posting sightings in the hope of making a very small contribution to knowledge & protection. The recording site is on the whole simple but unclear to me. I entered tipula luna under species - rejected; tried crane fly tipula luna - rejected. What was I supposed to put?

 

Submitting bat records

Submitted by Hawkmoth Chaul… on

 

I have a large number of bat records to submit from static sessions over the last three years in villages, Reserves etc in the Nidderdale area and east towards York. 

I want to upload the relevant .wav file in support of my ID in case the verifier/s want to check it, for each record, but it's isnt accepting them due to size. Resizing to a different format is probably time consuming in view of the number of records, what's the best thing to do?

Activity

Submitted by Andrew Goodall on

Hello

I joined two Activities on my desktop and instantly they appear on my iPhone. Following from this I created an Activity on my desktop but this is not appearing on my iPhone. I have logged in and out of both desktop and iPhone and I have added records via desktop.

 

Any help appreciated. cannot seem to find anywhere to sync.

Data entry

Submitted by liquidamber on

I'm trying to upload a butterfly sighting.I click/return on the correct record in the drop-down box for the species, and complete the rest of the form, but then it won't upload theform, saying 'taxon must be specified' for the species box. Well I've used I-Record's own suggestion, so I've no idea what else it needs. Please: what do I do now?
