Submit your records

Submitted records are the lifeblood, and we are always delighted to receive wildlife record submissions to add to our database. If you have a single sighting to report, you can use our Single Record Submission form. You will need the name of the species, the date you saw it, and the location you saw it. We also have a map feature you can use to identify your location on if you do not have the coordinates to hand. Please only submit one species at a time with this form. If you are not confident on the ID of your record, please indicate in the comments section on the form.

If you have multiple records to submit, or would like an easy form to begin collecting records for submission, you can download our Excel Spreadsheet Template. Records submitted using this format are particularly helpful, as it ensures that the records arrive in a ready-to-upload format so that they can be quickly uploaded to our database after our officers have verified them.

If you are looking to submit records of Japanese Knotweed, please use our Knotweed Reporting Form. Please note that DBRC does not provide any removal or formal reporting services.
