Morning Cape Town
Today is looking fantastic. Some fog and relatively calm, although temperatures are cool.
Please go out and have fun. Today we set the groundwork for the rest of the adventure. At this stage we still needs lots of everything, so visit your favourite places and see what you can find.
So despite the rain and cloudy conditions yesterday, we made excellent progress.
At the end of day one we are:
2nd place (8,600 observations) behind La Plaz in observations
5th place (1,180 species) in number of species, but it is neck to neck, except for La Plaz
5th place (438) in observers: this is to be our focus, so please everyone: get your friends and family and get our there and everybody participate. Even one observation is great. But if you can manage 10 on each day, that would be marvellous.
