Perhaps other forum readers can better answer this question but if I am staring at a tree or a pond and I know that the sounds that i am recording are coming from that area maybe one could infer(?) that the critter is in the photo somewhere… There should be a flag for a photo to remove it from species recognition! Having a photo showing the habitat could help many people ID a few species.
So… other forum readers - should the guidelines include a line advising people to avoid including habitat photos?
Should observers be advised to write notes about habitat? if it is too complicated then not likely to happen…
