Exercise 2 solution (sample answer)

Entry: 2026-11-07, 08:00-09:00, dry and cloudy, 6 C.
Counts: Species A 4, Species B 2, Species C 1, unknown small bird 1.
Totals: 4 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 8 birds; 3 identified species (plus one unknown).
Change for next visit: start a little earlier, add a sketch of the unknown bird's marks, and note which birds were heard but not seen.
Your numbers will differ; check that the totals follow from your own entries.
