eBird, 30 Mar 2016: Using accurate and specific eBird locations.I find the inaccurate locations in ebird rather annoying...
Hunting Hen Harrier : http://i.imgur.com/l8nTWOr.jpg sadly this map show they completely abandoned the area they used the most since a grassland disappeared and they also became much more scarce in the wole area :-C
My remark wasn't supposed to 'unleash the beasts', but great that we now know more of both databases. And great that more precise locations is given more emphasis now in eBird. For Observation.org we should put more emphasis on complete lists (and protection).eBird, 30 Mar 2016: Using accurate and specific eBird locations.
This rather hints to me that UK gamekeepers are using Waarnemingen.be data to locate, and then go and destroy, Hen Harriers wherever they can. Their hatred for this species should not be underestimated at all; they certainly travel widely to shoot out known winter harrier roosts, with the aim of complete eradication of the species.
It does raise the question: what data should be added, for species that are likely to be the target of significant wildlife crime?
+1 (2045). Spotted Nightjar was accidentally entered as an escape.
Arjan will twitch it..... but also trying to get another cast of supporting species here. Vincent is puzzling this last part together ;-)So we should hope that the day (part of the day exactly) tomorrow in the Netherlands should bring some more birds - and that Arjan won't waste time at the Rubythroat (that is really strange to use "waste" and "rubythroat" together in NL, I agree with you Vincent!!). I'm looking forward to it (and to new stats by Paul as well)...
I had rather naively, never even thought of this!
I just assumed that witheld sites and sketchy details were just to prevent hoards of birders / twitchers.
