User's notes

Recorded on a camera trap just outside of our house. Assumed resident, I've seen an Owlet Nightjar around on and off throughout the year. Unknown if more than one, or if nesting. The second image is just for location and approximate date info. The video is stamped with exact date and time.

I think only the second image has uploaded. If the camera trap is in video format, it would be good if you could screenshot a frame that has the bird in it and add that to this sighting, as the platform does not support video.

Hey MichaelB, I tried to manually fix the date but got an error message, would you be able to either correct it or give her the relevant account status to fix it herself

Ryu, I got an error too. Aaron is doing a bit of software repair, will advise him.

Thanks guys - that should be resolved now - related to a lot of performance optimisation/tuning work from last night. Thanks for your patience. Uploading from the smartphone apps is about 10x faster now and various parts of the website have been sped up now.

Hi Alice,
I've elevated your status to Trusted Contributor, so now should be able to edit dates and GPS as well.
