For each new record you need to add a new Point to your shapefile. If you need to enter the coordinates by hand, then you should take a look at the numerical digitalize plugin. After the point is added you can then edit the rest of your attributes.<div>
<br></div><div>If you have too many new observations already in a spreadsheet, then you can do in another way:</div><div><br></div><div>- Create a temporary shapefile from the new spreadsheet, making sure that its attributes are the same as you main shapefile;</div>
<div>- Add it to map canvas;</div><div>- Select that layer and copy all its features (points) using the select by rectangle or directly on attribute table and copy them to clipboard.</div><div>- Select the main shapefile, star editing (the pencil icon), and paste the features from clipboars.</div>
<div><br></div><div>If everything went well, and the layers attributes match, you will get all the new bird <span style="font-size:13px;font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">sighting in the main shapefile.</span></div>
