Yes, this is the first time

No, I have filled in a feedback survey on the Targeting Revisits Maps in the past

4.4. Do you think that the Targeting Revisits Map is valuable for recorders like you?

Yes

No

5.5. Please briefly describe why you think it is, or is not, valuable

6.6. What is the likelihood that the information in the Targeting Revisits Map will influence your recording of the species in the Map that you have used?

Not at all likely - I do not expect to use the Targeting Revisits Map to make decisions about where to record

Possibly - I may use the Targeting Revisits Map to make decisions where to record

Probably - I probably will use the Targeting Revisits Map to make decisions where to record

Very likely - I am very likely to use the Targeting Revisits Map to make decisions where to record

I don’t know

7.7. How much of your recording of these species do you think will be influenced by the information provided by the Targeting Revisits Map?

None - the information will not influence my recording

A little - I expect that only a little of my time recording will be in sites that I have identified with the Targeting Revisits Map

Some - I expect that some of my time recording will be in sites that I have identified with the Targeting Revisits Map

A lot - I expect that I will mostly record in sites that I have identified with the Targeting Revisits Map

I don’t know

This part of the survey uses a table of questions,

8.8. Given the information presented in the Targeting Revisits Map, how motivated are you to visit and submit records of these species from:

Please don't select more than 1 answer(s) per row.

	Very motivated to record in these squares	Somewhat motivated to record in these squares	Slightly motivated to record in in these squares	The map has no effect on my motivation	Motivated to avoid recording in these squares	I don't know
Targets for revisits? (Bright pink on the map)
Well recorded squares? (Bright green on the map)
Unrecorded squares? (Blank on the map)

This part of the survey uses a table of questions,

9.9. How frequently do you submit species records from the following groups? (Include records submitted to iRecord, your county recorder, your Local Records Centre or another similar project)

Please don't select more than 1 answer(s) per row.

	Never	Rarely - only in some years	Occasionally – one to a few records each year	Frequently – many records each year
Grasshoppers and crickets (Orthoptera)
Ground beetles (Carabids)
Craneflies
Ladybirds
Soldierflies

10.10. How frequently do you submit records for any species (e.g. via iRecord, your county recorder, your Local Records Centre or another similar project)?

Never

Rarely - a few records per year

Occasionally - a few records in most months

Frequently - many records in most months

11.11. Do you think a tool like the Targeting Revists Map (for the species groups now or, in the future, for other species groups) would have long-term effects on your biological recording? Please briefly describe if so and how.

12.12. Does the information in the Targeting Revisits Map influence your recording or your motivation in other ways? If so, please briefly explain how and why.

13.13. Please state the county (e.g. Oxfordshire or Pembrokeshire) where you do most of your recording.

14.14. How often do you currently participate in biological recording and submit records to iRecord, to your county recorder, to your Local Records Centre or another similar project? (If you record for more than one scheme, please consider your participation across all schemes. If you record for a taxa that is seasonal, please only consider frequency during the typical recording season.)

Usually weekly, or more often

Usually between weekly and monthly

Usually between monthly and quarterly

Usually between quarterly and annually

Usually less frequently than annually

Never

15.15. How long have you been a regular participant (annually or more often) in biological recording? (If you participate in more than one scheme, please answer in relation to the scheme that you have had the longest involvement with.)

Less than 1 year

1-2 years

3-5 years

6-10 years

More than 10 years

I don't regularly participate in biological recording

16.16. How confident are you in your identification skills for the type of organisms that you record for? (If you record for more than one type of organism, then please answer for the type that you have highest confidence in. This may be different to the insect groups for which we have Targeting Revisits Maps.)

Low confidence – I consider myself to be a beginner recorder

Medium confidence – I consider myself to be an intermediate level recorder

High confidence - I could be described as an expert recorder

I don’t currently participate in biological recording
