YOUR BIRD RECORDS ARE IMPORTANT TO US. To enable us to produce the LBC report there is a very important first link in the chain and that is you, the members of the Lincolnshire Bird Club and those who submit confidential and casual records. Without your records there is no Bird Report, so to those who regularly contribute many thanks. If you do not currently send us your records, perhaps you would like to consider sending them to LBC in the future.
There are many ways to submit records:
• Posting sightings on the Forum – you have to a member of the Lincolnshire Bird club to make a posting on the Forum.
• For those who are not members of the LBC there is the Casual/Confidential facility available on the Forum -
http://www.lincsbirdclub.co.uk/contact/.
• If you would like any of your personal records which are not posted on the Forum, included in the database, you can send these to the appropriate County Recorder, preferably on a monthly basis.
• Another option is the use of an Excel spreadsheet, or the Template which is shown on the Forum website.
• If you have no method for recording your sightings, a note to the appropriate County Recorder would be acceptable.
• Confidential sightings and breeding records should be submitted to the appropriate County Recorder.
• If you are running Wildlife Recorder or Bird Recorder, your records can be sent by email as an exported file. These can be sent direct to Colin Jennings
thejennings@colin97.freeserve.co.uk for entry onto the LBC database.
The County Recorders are: John Clarkson (North) -
recorder_north@lincsbirdclub.co.uk and John Badley (South) –
recorder_south@lincsbirdclub.co.uk If you do send us your records, in whichever form, you do not need to submit them in systematic order. You can list them as a Trip, giving the location, date, species and total number seen, in any species order you like. You can send them by email, spreadsheet or a hand written note will do. It would be very helpful if any records you do submit are sent on a monthly basis so that there is not a huge amount of data entry to do at the end of the year.
The deadline for 2012 records is 28th Feb 2013.
