The error is Human

Today's story will be about another part of the job here at the Fuglestation. Most of our days consist in collecting a massive amount on data concerning birds in the region, but to be able to use these data, they need to be accurate.

That is why we constantly have to double or triple check every data entry, on paper or digital. It is a long but necessary process that ensure the quality and the veracity of all the data produced by the observatory. It is made possible by following specific guidelines and methodolgies that minimize errors but it is impossible to never make a single mistake.

That is why today we went through every data we entered for the last 2 weeks and made sure once again that no mistake were made at any stage of the manipulation. One of the goals of any observatory is to produce data that could be used by research teams to identify trends, elaborate conservaton strategies or help us understand these bird species a little bit more everyday.

With that goal in mind, here at the Fuglestation, we will keep making sure that the information we transmit will always be as accurate as possible !
