When Will It End!!

Hi All,
Well at least it will be interesting to see how this continued wet weather impacts the flowering season of the many species at Manly Dam. I was looking back to a year ago to see what was flowering as we’re planning a joint walk with the local branch of the Australian Conservation Foundation as part of the National ACF campaign “Save Our Big Backyard”. I’ll share the details on the journal once they’re finalised the date as it will focused around iNaturalist as well as introducing people to citizen science and it would be great to have some seasoned professionals there!

Well looking back at the data from a year ago we have nearly 1000 more observations and an extra 200 odd species. Thank you to all as always for contributing. It’s great to see we’ve got some more twitchers in the project, insect and aquatic life enthusiasts (is there a twitcher equivalent for them?) as well and we have great activity and input from identifiers across the country.

I joined a webinar tonight by @thebeachcomber - I encourage you to have a look at his profile and observations. He is truly an iNat expert. He’s involved in a series of presentations preparing for the Great Southern Bioblitz on 29th-31st October. If you’re wanting to learn more about the desk top features in iNat then have a look at the recorded webinars on the YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/channel/UCnw54DLUo4evRBOCg9vXG7Q

Happy snapping, enjoy the mud and hope to see some of you out there.
