What is ‘extra time’ used for on the TTV form?
This is used for any species you record in the same tetrads on the same date as your main 1-hour count, but outside of that hour. For example, at the end of an hour’s TTV you may encounter extra species on the walk back to your starting point. If you ‘upgrade’ the breeding status of a species in extra time – e.g. you hear singing Blackbirds in the main hour, but see an adult carrying food afterwards – this can be entered in the ‘status’ column.
