Missing observation data in COGAtlas online.

["Paul Fennell" <>]

Dear fellow bird observers

 

I have just downloaded the  COG Atlas for the last three months or so. There are 654 data sheets and 12854 sightings recorded. This includes a block of entries from the past activities of the ANU Women’s bird watching group.

 

However, there are a few anomalous entries, one type being bird sighting records which have no associated record sheet showing when, where and who made the sightings.

There are some of these more interesting records below, where I feel it is essential to ensure the correct record is retained.

 

If you think any of the sample below belongs to you, would you please let me know the details of these observations, and perhaps any other species you saw at the same time.
