Hi @NathanaelC, I am not confident that I know the nature mapper policy on this but the basic idea is that it is photo-based and that every record is confirmed by a moderator (unlike most other wildlife atlas systems). As you say, they are common species. And Wombats are unmistakable. But people often try to record species from droppings alone and there are certainly mistakes being made with the identification of those. So if we moderators are allowed to verify records without photos, I suggest the minimum requirement would be a statement from the observer that they had had a good visual observation of the species in question.

@MichaelMulvaney for guidance

Didn't take any photos. Are they needed for such common species? That's fine if so.

@NathanaelC, Thanks for these records (2 wombats and a rakali) but your photos do not seem to have uploaded.
