Great blitz everyone

Well done and thanks to everyone who bioblitzed the Surf Coast this past weekend.

The weather was a challenge on the first couple of days but thankfully the sun came out for Sunday and Monday - even if it was still a bit chilly!

That low temperature meant that my favourite moths weren't a feature this time, but despite missing out on that biodiverse fauna group, we have observed over 400 species -which is a new record for one of our September surveys.

I would encourage everyone to check out the Great Southern Bioblitz Umbrella Project and click through some of the interesting projects from South America, Africa and others in Aus too. Then if you click the 'Stats' you will be able to single out a taxa to look at like birds, molluscs, mammals.

There's now over 75,000 observations of over 10,000 species from the Southern Hemisphere to check out! An amazing result.
