If you do take pictures of wildlife and try and submit them on Google Earth make sure you take a lot of the habitat too (one of the rules). I have submitted some deer pics from Richmond Park only for them to be rejected. However my swan pics have been selected as I am showing alot of background. Admittedly user contributed pics on GE is more for showing landscapes.
However, anything from a satellite/aircraft view of the world and zooming in on specific areas I dont think the picture resolution is good enough for most places, unless they have done the High res pics. |

Quite a lot of the UK is very high reolution on Google maps.
On the Google picture of my house i can tell that:
- it was taken on a Sunday morning (the station car park down the road is empty)
- at about 9-10 am (angle of the shadows)
- I was out (car's not there)
- Mrs Z was in (mower and stuff in the garden)
- and I can pinpoint the date to within about a week (the stage of some wall building in the front garden)  |

You can use Google Earth to map species on. We have successfully used it on our Adder distributions.
Cheers,

Would the plootings be publicly available or just 'pin-pointed'? |

Whenever I used Goggle Earth I never saw a single person, let alone a bird! That's very interesting!  |

I bet there's some funny images on there then? Like streakers at football matches and stuff?
I can't run Google Earth on this PC. Can you see the explosions in Iraq on it?

I use Flash Earth.
You can then swap between Google Maps and Microsoft VE to see which is the best image.
This is a sports field near my house and if you zoom in you can see all the field mushroom fairy rings! Flash Earth ...satellite and aerial imagery of the Earth in Flash | | | |
