No problem, the size of the pic doesnt help. I will be adding more data such as weather, habitat ETC. Though I did make sure to select larva for the age class maybe we need to change something so it sticks out that when you see the record it says Eggs - Larva - Sub - Adult - varying rather than be lost in the small type.
Please disregard..
Heck I thought it was a pic of one frog... LOL Maybe I am going blind.
Sorry.. I think a note saying there is a 100+ tadpoles in the pictures is good. As an overall thought about tadpoles, I am a little concerned they are being counted (in counts as adults),which could lead to misleading totals of species of concern.. Just a passing thought..
You are making a ton of entries, which are really nice.. "thanks"
I added another pic and adjusted the contrast and zoomed in some, but with the movement of them breaking the surface of the water and glare of sunlight they are hard to see. In the first pic the "school" of tadpoles starts from the upper left of the pic and all the way across to the bottom right strays. I was being conservative with only putting down 100 qty but if you feel strongly about it I will adjust down.
Hi Matt.. I dont see 100, can you change the qty to reflect the actuall
count? Thanks in advance
