Get a species list for a polygon, or QDS

• To get a list of one group, such as carnivores, go to View results > Select a species or group, and then scroll down to see the View all carnivores link. 
• To get a list of all species in an area, use the Explore all records option. Then use the Create a filter option in the filter bar above the map. Click on the 'Where' option. You can then:
  • Zoom into your chosen area and use the polygon tool to draw a polygon around it.
  • Type a QDS code (use capital letters), monad or pentad code into the map reference box and change the drop-down to the correct grid system.
  • Search for records in places by typing in a name for example, Palmwag, into the search for site names box.
