A database of frog and frog spawn sightings from the Frogwatch and 'Hop to it' - Irish Frog Survey surveys.Sampling Description
Quality Control
The data was received by record cards submitted by the general public. The data was digitised from the record cards and some checking of locations and grid reference was done. As frogs and frog spawn are unlikely to be confused with any other species in Ireland, the assumption made is that mis-identification is not a significatn issue.Method steps
- The majority of records are of casual observations submitted from the general public on recording cards, originally to An Foras Forbartha (until 1984) and from 1997 to the present to the Irish Peatland Conservation Council.
