- The page specifies eight repeatable fields, including counts, behavior, a sketch, and one open question.
Field notes
The method uses a fixed page structure: date and time, weather, precise place, what was seen, what it was doing, a rough sketch, and an open question. A 16-item watch-list covers seasonal observations such as hazel catkins, first bumblebee queens, chiffchaff song, swifts, and meadow brown butterflies, with filters for spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
