Summary after day 3 of the City Nature Challenge

And we keep on adding more and more to our lists. And some stunning observations out there.

Last day for observations.

Before we look at numbers, I would like to add links to a few observations that stood out for me.
Common Cape Wagtail (Motacilla capensis ssp. Capensis) https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/43082946 It always amazes me how cheeky this little bird can be. Strut into your house without a care.
Painted Reed Frog (Hyperolius marmoratus) https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/43356984You Seeing them stuck to a plant, or even your window surprises a lot of people.
Spotted Harlequin Snake (Homoroselaps lacteus) https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/43606795 You hear of the saying dog-eat-dog, but what is this snake-eat-snake?
Bushbuck (Tragelaphus scriptus) https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/43268562 Totally caught him off guard.
Blue Emperor (Anax imperator) https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/43633128 This is proof of how strong a spider web is.
Common Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/43703851 I remember picking then as a kid and blowing them.

Over 10300 observations in 72 hours from 236 observers. Making it over 43 observations per observer. This is amazing and only proves everyone’s commitment and dedication. The leading City can only brag with 12 observations average per person.

Over 33700 observations in Southern Africa in 72 hours, and more than 449500 observations worldwide.

Number of observations for:
Birds: 849
Amphibians: 19
Reptiles: 72
Mammals: 47
Molluscs, Arachnids & Insects: 1052
Plants: 6486

Currently the Garden Route is placed 2nd in Southern Africa, and 8th Internationally.

Well, well done everyone. Time to put camera batteries on charge then go charge your batteries. Another big day tomorrow.
