About Mammal Tracker
The Mammal Tracker smartphone application is the first extensive phone app for the identification and recording of British mammals. The aim is to collect valuable and verifiable data on the presence of mammals across the British Isles (except Ireland and Northern Ireland who have their own Irish mammal application). The app is an integral part of The Mammal Society’s new Heritage Lottery Funded Mammal Watch South East (MaWSE) project. Although this project is focused in the south east of England, the app is operational nationwide.
People often do not realise that mammals are particularly under-recorded and very little is known about the status of many mammal species. They are frequently overlooked due to their elusive and often nocturnal behaviour in the wild. Mammal records are vital in order to accurately determine their distribution and numbers, and to help inform conservation action for the species that need it.
Any records you submit using the “Mammal Tracker” app will be reviewed and verified by an expert before being added to our database. By recording your sightings and signs of mammals, you are contributing to the general body of data available via the NBN Gateway. These records will also contribute to a future national atlas. This Mammal Atlas will be used to inform future conservation decisions for British mammals.
Thank you for taking part! Scientists could not do this work without the help of people across the UK, like you, reporting when and where they find our mammal species.

As I don't spend my life with my phone in my hand and when I do have it there is rarely a signal I wanted to add my sightings for the last week. ¬But No! Only today's date is acceptable. ... hardly scientific. ¬ I'll just arrange with all the mammals to be within mobile phone masts and pre-arrange with me that I am carrying my phone............ TOSH !

I like the app as it is easy to use and has clear images. It would be fantastic if it could be modified to move to an adopted SD card.

This app makes it really easy to participate in 'citizen science'. The only thing I would add is a guide to footprints, fur and droppings as we find evidence of mammals more often than we see the mammal itself.

Looks great but it won't let me register, so I can't submit my sightings. Irecord comes up as page not found if I try a different link. Have uninstalled and tried installing again but no change.

A very handy field application for capturing mammal sightings. The results go on to the iRecord system and hence to the British Mammal Society. All in all a great way to make sure that your mammal data ends up being shared with the right people. If you find this kind of tool handy you may also wish to have a look at BTO Birdtrack, iRecord Butterflies, iRecord Ladybirds and UK Dragonflies.

I rarely sumit sighting records since it involves recording on paper while you are out. I've tested the beta version and this app makes it so simple.

Wife downloaded it and has been using it for a few days. Everything has worked fine and she has had no problems changing the date. Great opportunity to record sitings. I have now downloaded it and am recommending it to other people.
