Great Southern BioBlitz 2023 - Greater Bendigo's Journal

Here are some last-minute tips for bioblitz success:

Plan your day - look to explore some new parks or nature reserves you may not have been to before

If you're going exploring - be prepared! Take a bag with guidebooks, water, snacks, first aid and of course spare batteries for your camera, or a portable charger for your phone!

Explore a diversity of habitats - you are going to get more species if you go to a variety of environments

Take images of wild organisms, insects, plants in their natural habitat, (or weeds invading a natural habitat!) just not planted plants or pet animals.

Take a friend and family and have fun!

We're looking forward to seeing what you find, showcasing the incredible biodiversity of the southern hemisphere

Hoping for Saturday & Sunday's weather to be mild & still, ideal for getting into nature & making lots of observations!
Deirdre is the observations leader today, who'll be next?
Sunday 26 Nov, Friends of Solomon Gully Nature Conservation Reserve are holding a Bioblitz along the Leanganook Track between Burnside St & Fletcher St Quarry Hill- join in at anytime between 11am to 2pm

Sunday has been a perfect day for observations, sunny, mild & light breeze!
After Saturday's storms, nature's been refreshed, lots of birds, reptiles & insects to be seen.
