For anyone just starting out with recording and cataloging, it might
be useful to note down all the things that you need to document, no
matter what method of documenting you use:
e.g. for birds:
place, date, time, weather
name of species if known
whether male or female
behaviour e.g. perched, in flight, courting, in a flock
whether call or song
Many people tend to neglect noting down their observations of
behaviour and if male or female, and these observations can be most
useful for future researchers.
