OK thanks John and Brian. Lets wait until we contact the photographer. WalkYonder could you email one of us the photo (or several if you took more than one)? We should be able to at least conclude to the level of family and that will still be of interest. Thank you for taking the time to submit the record.

OK thanks JT1997. There are two ways out of this. 1) use the on screen map in Nature Mapper to click on the location of the camera, if you know where it is on the satellite image. 2) If you have access to a smart phone, you could go to the camera location and observe or record the coordinates. (To do so, check in the settings that location is turned 'on', then, when the smartphone is outdoors, it can tell you the coordinates of its current position. There are various ways to find the coordinates depending on the type of phone and what apps are installed).

Hi Don, the generalization is primarily due to the image being taken by a remote camera, whose exact location I don’t currently have access to. As such, the next best option is to place the point at the nearest public road (which for some reason didn’t work because the point seems to be in the middle of the range..) until I do have a better location. Following this, a more accurate location will be provided with permission from the landholder.

This is a secure species (probably A. agilis but there is a possibility of A. flavipes in the area as well) so why generalise the location @JT1997?
Nature mapper will be more useful in future if species distributions are not degraded by inclusion of false locations.

Hi @Christine There was a boom in number of Krefft's (formerly Sugar) Gliders in the sanctuary after foxes were fenced out.
