Protocolos
Los protocolos son formas estandarizadas de tomar datos asociadas a una geometría (puntos, transectos, polígonos), a un grupo taxonómico y a una presión de observación.
La metodología a seguir depende los objetivos del estudio (consulta la tabla más abajo).
Un administrador local te permitirá el acceso si se cumplen ciertos criterios.
No todos los protocolos están disponibles en todos los países.

- CHOOSE A LIST TO ENTER DATA: Some protocols make a distinction between a Basic and an Extended list (see image Continue to enter data as an example).
- BASIC LIST: Select to load a pre configured species list strictly related to the protocol (ie. waterbirds). It will facilitate entering data. See an example of how it may look like in image Example of a basic list compared to an Example of extended list. Which species belong to a basic list is determined by each local portal and may differ from one to another.

See an example of how it may look like in image Example of a basic list compared to an Example of extended list. Which species belong to a basic list is determined by each local portal and may differ from one to another.
- EXTENDED LIST: Select to load a pre configured species list strictly related to the protocol (ie. waterbirds) along with other related ones (ie. reed-living species). It will facilitate entering data. See an example of how it may look like in image Example of extended list. Species included in a basic list and an extended list are determined by each local portal and may differ from country to country.

- NO SPECIES / INDIVIDUALS WERE SEEN: Indicate if your survey did not provide any data. You will be taken to directly to end the protocol. Surveys with no species are also important results! It means you followed the established methodology, and therefore your survey is valid, but no birds were present. They can indicate major population changes and are of extreme importance for conservation purposes.

When in the list, indicate number of individuals, atlas code and additional information as previously described.
Ending the protocol
When all species are recorded, indicate
- 1. I recorded all species of the program if you identified and recorded all species seen or heard that are of interest to the protocol, or
- 2. I recorded all species (=full observation list) if besides all species of interest to the protocol, you also identified and recorded all other species seen or heard. Note you can only record in this list species identified within the designated study area. Any species recorded outside of the study area should be submitted as an individual record.
Then, you will be taken to set parameters to start a new protocol.
