  1. Sections in notes columns in entry

    When I write notes for a specie in an entry I make columns. When I save this - the columns disappears and it becomes one text without space.

    It should still be sections/paragraphs.

  2. Firsts Map

    Introduce a new map that shows the location of firsts. By default it would show world lifers. Filtering would allow it to show firsts for a particular year or country.

  3. Include the number of individuals on the species page

    I record counts, and I want to see how many individuals I've seen, in total, on the species screen.

    This would be achieved by adding up all counts for the species on view.

  4. Creating and exporting trip reports

    I would appreciate being able to create an entry or series of entries in a trip report format that could be exported in a choice of word or pdf document. This would enable me to share the trip report with others which may also help more birders to see how useful Bird Journal is.

  5. Allow 'Count' type custom properties

    In addition to custom properties of type Checkbox, DropDownList & Text, add a 'Count' type.

    This allows to add individual properties for eg. Male Count, Female Count, Juvenile Count, etc, on a single observation.

    The advantage over simply using a Text type property here, is that the counts would be added together automatically when reviewing observations. This is in addition to being presented separately too.

    It also means counts would be available to use by population graphs, and be validated to only contain numeric values. This includes the use of + and c characters.

  7. would it be possible, to allow common names to be listed, with second name first

    Would it be possible, to allow common names to be optionally listed, with second name first, ie avocet, babbler, barbet, duck, eagle etc, to allow easy tracking of species in your lists?

  9. RSS Feed of records

    I had an idea to be able to export records to a CMS template/Theme for either Wordpress or Joomla but Bird Journal have suggested an RSS feed (I presume from our cloud accounts). I like this idea and would like others to support if they like it too?

  10. Remember the last used Locations

    It would be good to remember the last few (5 - 10?) locations used. I personally have 773 locations, but - without looking at the stats - I'd imagine I use about 5 of them 95+% of the time. If those last 5 were at the top it would be very useful. Unfortunately, I'm more likely to use "Fowlmere" or "Cambridge Botanic Gardens", sooner than I'll be using "Tierra del Fuego", "Chitwan", or "Lamington National Park"; but they still have equal prominence when scrolling through to select a location.

    Maybe it could even default to the closet location on the…

  11. Consolidate entries of same Date and Location

    When I imported from another database, separate entries were created for the same date and location due to different property fields being assigned (such as singing, photograph, heard only). It would be nice to consolidate multiple entries to a single entry.

  13. Family groups in the taxonomic list in the mobile version

    The taxonomic list in the beta is great but if working with a very long list it means a lot of scrolling is needed. If family headings are included this will make it quicker to scroll through them. Even better would be to allow the families to collapse so that we could quickly scroll to the family and then locate the bird.
    A scroll bar that actually gives feedback as to where you are in the list would be useful, if such a thing exists in iOS.

  19. make it possible to list the day's sightings in chronological order.

    I'd like to be able to review my sightings made on a particular day in the order I saw them. To a degree I can do this via the map, as long as I remember my route, but I'd like to be able to choose to order the list of sightings like this if I wanted to.

  20. Add eBird entry data (protocol, # of observers, distance/area traveled) etc. to mobile app

    Please add eBird entry data (protocol, # of observers, distance/area traveled) etc. to the mobile app, so it isn't necessary to go into the windows application later and add that data for export to eBird.
