  • Butterfly and Moth Recording Report 2011
    Lancashire, Manchester and Merseyside Butterfly and Moth Recording Report 2011 Laura Sivell Graham Jones Stephen Palmer 1 Butterfly Recording Laura Sivell County Butterfly Recorder Record Format More recorders who have computers chose to send their records by email. This is certainly preferred for ease of data input. The new version of Levana now has an excellent import facility, that can convert pages of records in a few seconds. MS Excel, MS Works, or tables in MS Word or tab-text are all acceptable file types. It not only makes my life much easier, it is a joy to use! Please remember to include your name in the file name of your records. On days where several different recorders send a file called ‘butterfly records 11’, it’s chaos! It also helps if you include a header with your name on so that your printed records can be easily attributed to you. Woefully few people have taken this on board. Thanks to those that have, it takes so little to bring joy and relief to this poor recorder. Any recorders with computers but not currently sending their records electronically, please consider doing so. Even if you don’t have email, records can be sent on disc. The following format is ideal Joe Bloggs 12/5/10 SD423456 Pilling Moss Orange Tip 3 all females, eggs also seen Joe Bloggs 12/5/10 SD423456 Pilling Moss Green-veined white 4 Sheila Bloggs 14/9/10 SD721596 Hasgill Fell Small heath 2 mating pair Joe Bloggs 11/10/10 SD5148 Grizedale Speckled Wood C please don’t put m or f for male or female, or anything else, in the numbers column as it makes the programme crash.
