2026 "to do list"!
For future memory!
My 10 most common "unobserved" species for Portugal from selected Kingdon/ Class/ Order/ Family as of 31/12/2025.
Two species from each group would be really nice do get in 2026!! I don’t think I’ll be able to do much targeted search for specific species so lets see how it goes.
Another objective for 2026 is to make 3000 observations and to reach 2250 species overall (currently at 1698 but with some backlog to upload) with 1600 as Research Grade (1262 with the same backlog).
