Quality and validity

Lineage

Derived from historic paper and spreadsheet records (as part of Cefas project M1103). Recapture data patchy in places and it is recommended that users filter by valid/invalid fields to filter some inconsistent records. Release positions are well defined, however recapture positions less well defined. Quality control issues noted in comments field of recaptured table. Some recaptures outside of specified dates.
