We are changing the way members submit their sightings from paper submissions to digital submissions via the website. (Click here for digital page). We are trying to encourage members to submit their sightings digitally, as this will help you make your entries more accurate, give us the mechanism to display current sightings, and reduce the task of our recorder. However we understand if people wish, for the timebeing, to carry on using our paper-copy system- see below for more information on this.
Please can we ask members to submit their sightings. Standard recording forms are preferred and can be obtained from any of our indoor meetings.
