I have just spotted elder budburst here in Lincolnshire - what have you seen?

Recording – geographical area

I travel all over the country for my job, can I keep notes on everything I see and enter these?
No, you need to restrict your records to a 10km (6-mile) radius of the address given in your details. You are welcome to record at more than one site but need to create a separate form for each, giving the appropriate location details.

I don’t go out very much, do I have to observe throughout the 10km square in which I am located?
No, you can record just by looking out of your window, in your garden, your school grounds or local park or just along your journey to work (ensuring you keep to the 10km (6-mile) radius from your address).
