Easter Hike 2021

Each year for the past several years we lay what must be one of the longest Easter egg hunt trails in the WC! I get up early in the morning and hike the Sugarbird Valley trail, 'hiding' eggs along the way. Then, our family hikes the trail, providing much entertainment for Charlie and Eli, and providing me with an opportunity to document biodiversity. This is usually a botanically quiet time of year, but it is a good warm up for the City challenge which takes place at the end of the month. However, the Protea repens were putting on a a lovely display, with signs of some of the other protea species thinking about a good winter showing too. All in all, 24 eggs were found, and 60 records uploaded to iNat from the day (but none included an Easter bunny).
