Provenance & quality
Data were recorded on standard forms and field maps, which were collated in the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) Wales office in Bangor and sent to the BTO head office for digital inputting, after being copied physically and electronically in Bangor. Data were then digitized using ArcMap (versions up to v10.5). The process included checking of uncertain counts, species codes and identifications, for which the digitizer checked the data with the surveyor if necessary, before making a judgement on likely record accuracy. Additional checks were intrinsic to subsequent data processing before being loaded into a final database at UKCEH.
To ensure confidentiality of the data with respect to land owners and managers, the locations of 1km squares and survey sites were converted to the centres of the containing 10km Ordnance Survey grid squares.
