Beginning with this post we present a series of articles that summarise the recently concluded MigrantWatch season (i.e. 2012-13), and compare it with previous seasons.\u00a0<\/em> <\/strong><\/p>\n

In this part we look at our contributors for 2012-13 and examine changes in contributors over the years. In all cases, we define a “season” as starting on 1 July of one year and ending on 30 June of the next year.<\/p>\n

\"MW<\/a>As shown above, the last season saw contributions from 273 MigrantWatchers, which is an all-time high.<\/p>\n

Number of new contributors<\/span> \"MW<\/a><\/h3>\n

134 new people joined MigrantWatch and started contributing during the last season (see list below). The number of new entrants has been picking up in the last three seasons. (The number of new contributors in the first season is, of course, the total for that season!)<\/p>\n

What percent of observers contribute 50% of all records?<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"MW<\/a><\/p>\n

During the past season half of all records were contributed by just 2% of the observers. (The proportion has more-or-less been maintained for the past three seasons.) This indicates that there is a very small number of MigrantWatchers that are exceptionally active. About 38% of contributors have uploaded a single sighting each, and this has varied slightly (i.e. between 32% and 41%) over the seasons. In the times to come we hope that we can motivate the not-so-active participants to contribute more regularly.<\/p>\n
