Greetings iNat community

Welcome again to new members, our community project is growing and it’s great to see new faces popping up in the project. It’s not even a year since we launched but we have 87 active members and it’s getting close to 2000 observations and 629 species. Before the Biodiversity Project started we knew Manly Dam area had a lot of species, many undocumented but I’m blown away every time I jump on and look at the the stats.
I’m the first to admit I haven’t been helping with identifying the last months but I’m hoping to spend a bit of time soon having a look and helping verify species (kids are back to school hurray!).
We have quite a few insects still needing confirmation, thank you to all the insect nerds out there posting, if you have a moment to help verify others posts or even a few tips on what needs to be included in the observations - for plants a close up of the flower, leaves and the overall habit are helpful - insects I’ve no idea!
The reports of the official Biodiversity study are out and we have a web site in the making. I’ll try and post some info here in the journal over the next few weeks about the exciting things our experts have found.
Happy observing, enjoy as always and keep sharing the message so we can continue to grow this great community.
