Original Title |
Big Hedgehog Map records |
Module Description |
Records from January 2020 - June 2020 |
Purpose |
The Big Hedgehog Map was set up to act as a national hub for hedgehog records, dead and alive. |
Capture Methods |
Data were captured via a public-participation online map. Volunteers submitted records of any hedgehogs observed (dead or alive) using an online form. As the hedgehog is an easily identified species, records were only excluded if the location details were not clear or obviously incorrect. |
Verification/Validation Procedures |
Records are submitted voluntarily by members of the public with a wide range of expertise. Sightings were not verified although the risk of misidentification is low for this species. The dataset should not be regarded as having a comprehensive geographical coverage, record distribution is likely to be biased towards populated areas. The dataset has been checked using the NBN record cleaner and as a result erroneous grid references were corrected or removed. |
