Bird counts and other spreadsheets

Hi,

I am posting a number of spreadsheets in this blog.

You will need to have a Google account in order to see them.  It is simple to register and I do recommend you have a Google account.  This allows you to use Google docs ( sort of competitor to Microsoft office), and this in turn allows you to see the spreadsheet.

The bird count spread sheet has a number of columns which are pretty obvious, except that the national grid reference is that of the bird, and the gps references are for the observer.  My software allows me to say that the bird is so many meters away at such and such o'clock.

The gps info is in a funny format, being dddd.mmmm  very strange, almost like Pounds shillings and pence

references to zero number of birds is basically saying that I think that I have counted the bird before, but am here adding some extra information to the earlier record.  ie I am seeing the Raven again at this time and location.

The column # refers to the number seen.

I will publish the code of program in the blog as well.
