A user asks: are repeat records useful?

What should I record and how often? It is not always clear which species to record and how often. Do you record that Blackbird in your garden every day? What about plants in your garden or street trees nearby? The NatureSpot guidance is:

• Do record common species, not just the notable ones you see.
• In general it is sufficient to record the species found on a particular site just once each year.
