How to register as a Migration Watch recorder To ensure the integrity of the Migration Watch data it is important that we should know who our observers are and that we should be able to contact them if we have any queries about their records. We will also use email to circulate any important announcements or information about Migration Watch. To take part in Migration Watch you will therefore need to register as a recorder. This involves entering your name, address and e-mail address. When you register, you will need to choose a password. You only need to register ONCE. Advice on how to obtain a free email address Advice on choosing a user name and password You will probably want to select the option that allows you to be identified automatically each time you return to the Migration Watch web site. This option places a small file (called a cookie) on your computer that allows the Migration Watch website to identify you automatically if you return to it from the same PC. If you prefer not to use this system then you will need to use your user id and password to login each time you return to the Migration Watch web site to enter data or to view your own results. You do not need to login if you just want to view the national or regional results that are updated each day. Whichever login method you choose we strongly recommend that you keep a written record of your user id and password in a safe place. Please write down your password in a way that is not obvious or accessible. We want to be sure that your records do come from you so please don't share your user id and password with others. There will be a few common sense exceptions to this rule, for example where a family enter their records under a single user id. Your registration and user id will apply to Migration Watch and to other online projects such as Garden BirdWatch and BBS. It is therefore important that you tell us your BTO Garden BirdWatch number and Ringing Permit Number if you have one. This will allow us to ensure that you are correctly linked to existing information in the BTO's membership database. You will use your password when you visit the website on future visits to record your sightings. There will be help available to guide you through this process. In order to register for Migration Watch you will need to agree to the Personal Data Statement that is specified on the registration form. |
