Historical records
31 Dec 2013
Historical records are an extremely valuable and often difficult-to-access source of information from past decades. It's a sobering thought that year by year, an untold number of meticulously-collected and transcribed observations are lost to science as old notebooks are misplaced or destroyed, the value of their contents never to be realised.
BirdTrack warmly welcomes records from the past as well as the present. All you need to be able to enter 'old' records is a date, location and species name. Whether or not a particular set of historical records can be considered a complete list will probably require some consideration; please get in touch if you need advice about this.
