753 Cape Peninsula species

https://www.inaturalist.org/journal/dianastuder/79449-700-cape-peninsula-species
700 on 4 May.
Another 50 added.
Still a long list of same old same old Unobserved species to gather up.

I guess I have to count the pair of unwanted pet koi dumped in the Otter Pond at Kirstenbosch as number 750 ;~[[

Would rather count the pink and yellow Carpobrotus.
Or the little egret who posed for a photo op while fishing for his lunch in a tidal pool.
Or the Nemesia or Moraea which were both new to me species.
