May is always a quiet month on iNat in SA. The lack of rain this year also means a delay in the emergence of some seasonal species. Nevertheless 712 observers contributed 11,377 observations covering 2,275 species.

We also surpassed 700,000 observations total in South Australia in early June. That’s an amazing contribution from more than 9,200 citizen scientists.

The Great Southern Bioblitz is returning again in Spring this year. The Great Southern Bioblitz 2024 Umbrella Project is up. So too is the Greater Adelaide project and the City of Onkaparinga project. Join up to one or all to show your support. Let’s make this the best year yet.
