A biological record is simply a species observed by a person at a location on a given date. To be of use, records must contain four essential pieces of information:
What species was observed (common name or scientific names are fine)- Where was it observed – ideally a six-figure grid reference or better
- When was it observed (ideally the exact date)
- Who recorded it (full name of the recorder)
