    Mapmate - importing data

    Hi, Are there any experts in Mapmate out there? I record all my Moth records in Mapmate, but recently lost my computer. The county recorder gave my records back to me, in an excel spreadsheet that he simply copied and pasted out of Mapmate into excel. Is there a way of importing the data back...

    Dogwalkers and Birding.

    Hi all, There is a site close to me in the Midlands where we have two or three wintering Short-eared Owls, along with the odd Long-eared each winter. The area is fenced off, although it has stiles over the fences to allow folk in. There are large signs around each entrance gate stating no dogs...

    ashton on trent gp

    Ray I think you mean Aston-on-trent? Access is off the A50 dual carriageway, from which you have probably seen the signs. There is strictly no public access to the site at any time, although it appears some have special permission at weekends. When a rare is found, which it often is at this...
