iRecord allows you to customise several aspects including the species groups you like to record most often and the region, county or area you most often record in.
Record: Activities for group recording
Activities on iRecord are a way of organizing recording to enable the compilation and reporting of records for particular sites or geographic areas, and for particular species or groups of species; they are a great option for those running a bioblitz.
Explore: View & download records
All non-sensitive records added to iRecord are immediately available for browsing on the Explore pages of the website, with their verification status (i.e. whether they have been checked by an expert and if so, the result) displayed.
Record: Add biological records
iRecord is designed so that it is flexible enough to be used for a huge range of different wildlife recording needs and scenarios, and as such there are a number of different formats in which you can submit records on the iRecord website or mobile App, including a range of recording forms for different purposes, and Activities for group recording.

iRecord video guides
A number of video guides to various aspects of iRecord are available, and these are listed below. They have been produced by a range of organisations and do not necessarily represent the views of iRecord, BRC or UKCEH, but all contain useful information and we are grateful to the organisations and individuals who have made them available, and especially to Keiron Derek Brown who has produced many of the videos in this list.
