Great work team -so far over 1700 different species seen/heard! I'm lagging behind with uploading, so I'll try to do it over the next days -they will still be added to the Blitz.
Interesting to see everyone's different sightings. :)
I also made an ongoing Project for the Nth Rivers if you're interested in checking it out -all sightings for our area will automatically be added to the Project
Cheers, & thanks everyone
Looks like Jacob Crisp stars! Great work Jacob!
227 observations already today from 21 Observers! great work :)
Just over 2 hours to go before the Blitz takes off! Good luck seeing & uploading as many different species as possible over the coming 4 days & nights. I'm doing the Twitchathon for the Gang-gang Cockatoos with 3 other women from Ballina & Alstonville for 12 hours on sunday -"The Bossy Bush-hens". Moth night Saturday night -it's a busy weekend, & looks like we'll be lucky with the weather. Lots more Butterflies & Moths around the last few days with the warmer weather. Good luck everyone!

Tonight Sunday 16th Oct, I've shared the official Media release from the Great Southern Bioblitz website. with all the local Councils in the Northern Rivers & asked them to share it with their communities, also have contacted Local ABC North Coast, The Byron Echo & The Northern Rivers Times. Hopefully some will share it, to get more community members joining us!
Cheers
