Field notes
The page describes a count check in which opening numbers plus births minus deaths must equal the year-end total, and says mismatches are flagged. It separates individual animal records from colony or census counts and rehabilitation returns rather than combining them into one form. For inspection preparation, users answer questions about what they keep and do; the resulting document list is presented in Appendix C order, with due dates and clause references.
