This page is merely to help observers chart and co-ordinate progress from 2005-9. Records are grouped by 1, 2-9, 10-29, 30-99 and 100+, and updates for the purpose of the above mapping need only be in this format. The co-ordinator will update the maps whenever time allows. Thanks ~ Andrew Middleton acmiddleton@blueyonder.co.uk (co-ordinator)
