There's still time to upload and ID!
Hello Great Southern Bioblitzers!
What an amazing effort in our first ever year; in just 4 days, you contributed over 61,000 observations of more than 9,000 species. Even more excitingly, these efforts were thanks to 2,600 observers! It's awesome to see so many people involved, getting connected with nature, and contributing valuable biodiversity data.
But we're not done yet! Although the window for observing is over, you can still upload your photos. There will now be a 10 day window (so up until midnight of Thursday the 8th of October) to allow everyone to upload any photos they have left from the 4 days. Also importantly, these 10 days will be valuable for identifying your observations, so get out your field guides and start IDing! If you've managed to ID all of your own observations, have a look through some of the other amazing observations in the project and see if you can help others out.
I'm looking forward to next year's GSB already!

YE! Fantastic effort everyone! Now to finish uploading all my pictures OMG!
Only 10 days: will have to go without sleep for quite a few!!
Was great fun!! Busy watching the species totals as the IDs come in ....
Yes! We hit 10,000 species late yesterday.... still climbing!
Is the Upload and ID window Period definitely till the 8th Oct? I saw yesterday somewhere it ended last night at midnight and nearly killed myself trying to do it all in time! If we still have one more week lets all try to get far more ID's done. Are the totals only counted of the RG's?
@yvettevanwijk1941 Upload and ID window is definitely until the 8th. We'll be looking at a heap of stats, including RG, but plenty of other metrics too
Time is running out. The deadline is approaching.
This is your last chance to vote for the observation of the Great Southern Bioblitz 20.
You need to FAVE your candidate observations. (yes of course you can fave your own if it is superb).
These are the current contenders:
