If you have extra information about your wildlife sighting that you can't add on observado.org ( like a a movieclip or a pdf article or a travelreport), you can add a hyperlink to an external page, like youtube.com, your own site, etc.

How to do this?
Quick quide: Log in on observado.org, go to the detail page of your observation (pages like these: http://observado.org/waarneming/view/71271882), in the right corner there's a menu box with option "add external link". That's it!

Step-by-step guide:
First of all, log in and add an observation to http://observado.org.

then open the observation, where you want to add a hyperlink:

First, go to "My observado.org" and choose "my observations"

then search the species and find the observation where you want to add the link, for instance let's search for "hawk owl" in my observations:

This will open the detail screen of your observation. It looks like this:

On the right site of this screen you will find an "Options" menu.
One of the options is to add an external link:

if you click on "add external link" a new screen will open where you can add your hyperlink. Add the internet adress in the textbox. I will add a link to a Dutch travel report about birdwatching in Sweden on the Dutchbirding website:

What does it look like in observado? And how could you find these links?
If you open a detail screen of an observation you are interested in, you could find out if there's a link connected to this wildlife sighting:
