It’s very tedious entering large bird count numbers. Eg entering 150 spoonbills requires pressing the button 150 times. And then there are the 1000 black swans when I didn’t enter.
Can we have the ability to type a number in - especially for historical counts?
A quicker short-term solution might be to import historical bird counts using the CSV importer: https://trap.nz/import/bird_count_records
You can make a CSV file by creating a spreadsheet in Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets etc. and the importer has a template which you can download with all the columns already set up - though it includes every species in the system which makes it a bit unwieldy. You don’t need columns for species you aren’t counting.
Hi Scott - thanks for the suggestion. I just use the historical count functionality to avoid the 5 min countdown clock. I’m mainly tracking the NZ Dotterel and there are no more than 8 each time, so I don’t need 5 mins to count them and I don’t think it likes the screen being turned off while the countdown is still running. I just want to enter the count while I’m standing on the beach and move on to my next task.
