Filter the map
Narrow the whole section to a date range or a set of tags. One filter drives the map, the catalogue, and the history ledger together.
A season of sightings painted all at once buries the map. The observation filter keeps it readable: the section opens showing the last month by default, and you widen or narrow from there.
There is exactly one filter for the whole section. Change it anywhere and the map, the species catalogue, and the history ledger all follow. You will never have the map showing one range and a list showing another.
Where to find it
Click Filters in the toolbar to open the filter panel. It floats over the map and you can drag it anywhere, so you can leave it open next to the catalogue and watch both react as you adjust it. The same controls also sit collapsed at the top of the catalogue and history panels.
Tap Filters in the toolbar to raise the filter sheet. The same controls also live at the top of the History tab in the catalogue.
What you can filter by
- Date range: on web, any start and end date. On mobile, one-tap presets: 7 days, 30 days, this season, or all time.
- Observation tags: show only sightings carrying the tags you pick. Tags on sightings are separate from tags on species; this filter reads the sighting’s own tags.
The panel shows how many sightings are in view against the total, so you always know the filter is on. Clear widens back to everything.
Good to know
- The default is the last month, every time you come back to the section. This is deliberate: the common case is “what is happening lately”, and all time is one tap away.
- With a date filter on, the species catalogue narrows to species actually observed in that range. A species missing from the list is usually just outside the range.
