Cheers. Yes, I understand it will remain as Casual grade, was just concerned the obs would not be included in data. For example, on the taxon page for the species, the observation doesn’t show up on the Seasonality graph, which is a shame because it’s quite important to know when these migrant birds are showing up in NZ. And many people only hear the bird, they can be tricky to photograph. The graph currently says 4 obs for September when in fact there could be more but they’re not Research grade. I always include the observation field: Animal Sign and Song, not sure if that makes any difference.
