Yes -- the same person does all the observing and the same person should do it each year. Can't help with recording as cannot get time from work for that and my weekends are full as I have 3 Sunday routes myself. Hope you find someone who can record for you. Good luck with your route.

I'm not sure if the same person has to do the same job for the whole survey. If they do, I'd be the observer. Gemma gradko@aspensys.com
