Great Crested Newt (Triturus cristatus) Sites in Wales
This is a GIS dataset containing spatial objects such as points, lines, and polygons. Listing of great crested newt (Triturus cristatus) sites-extracted from recorder. The purpose of this data capture was to provide information on the distribution and abundance of an Annex II species.

Originally held in a Quattro Pro database. Exported to an MS Excel spreadsheet which is used to update Recorder and MapInfo layer layers. Some of the data may have been passed to the Herpetological Conservation Trust in Bournemouth for upload to the National Biodiversity Network (NBN) Gateway. Specific methods that were used to obtain the species records are unknown, as they will have varied for each record. This is an extract of all Great Crested Newt records collated from Recorder 6. The dataset has been subject to validation (checking for inputting errors). Records range in accuracy from 2 to 8 figure grid references. Some of these 8 figure grid references may have been generated by MapInfo and are not the true observational grid reference.
- Additional Information
-
Accuracy of dates ranges from exact dates such as 05/04/2001 to simply denoting the year. e.g. 1996. One record is noted for 1944, however this may be an error within the dataset. Species data is held within Recorder 6 see metadata record 24283 (under Parent ID) for more information.
