Is there an issue with the dates shown for 'Recorded on' and 'Reported'? The images of the moth were taken on 30 Oct 2023 not 14 Oct 2023 as shown, and uploaded today, 31 Oct 2023 not 15 Oct 2023 as shown @AaronClausen

Hey Tim, this is really weird. The date is pulled directly from the device it was recorded on, did you use a different camera than normal, or is it possible to check and confirm the current date/time on the device that these photos were recorded on? A 16 day difference is huge, which seems really unusual. Keen to know how you go @TimL

Hi @AaronClausen I used the same camera as normal and checked the date/time before use and after I saw this date discrepancy. The camera's date/time settings were accurate and I'd used the camera for sightings just before and just after this one, with the upload date/times showing up on CNM as accurate, so I'm not sure what this issue could be. I'll keep checking the date/time accuracy of my sighting uploads in future and will let you know if this happens again. Tim
