Friday Night.

End of day 1 of the Great Southern Bioblitz 2020

Considering that we had quite heavy rain from 9 am to 2 pm, we seem to have done reasonably well. Thank you everyone for your great contributions. Leighan got us going with the first observations at midnight, followed by mo dodging the showers and a sterling effort by linkie and the three c's (corinne, cliff and carina) we seem to have come out near the top in species, but also in observations.

Some 42 people have joined the project and 31 have contributed so far.

It is too early for any real analyses. However, the weather has seriously dented out species targets
we have
Birds - 35 out of target 250 species
Mammals - 3 of 75
Herps - 17 of 60
Fish - 0 out of 100
Insects - 30 of 500
Arachnids 2 of 100
Molluscs - 6 of 200
Crustaceans - 0 of 60

Plants - 388 of 3,500
Fungi - 12 of 130
Seaweeds - 1 of 90

Marine - 2 of 650
NEMBA Aliens - 20 of 180

Saturday promises light rain until daisy opening time at 10am, after which it will be partially overcast for the rest of the day with a maximum of 13*C with a gentle southwesterly breeze.

Have a great and fun day!! Everything counts! Every bit helps!
