African Pre-Mavericks

Kept pegging away and I am done. Have looked at all the Pre-Mavericks for the continent of Africa.

Some - looked at doubtfully and Mark as Reviewed Next.
Some - helped to RG. Extra points when they have, count them, very few obs!
Some - nudged along with whines and @mentions.

My URL says 4 355 obs reviewed. Not just light at the end of the tunnel. But OUT of the tunnel, back in daylight.

Back to the slow lane with Unknowns on the Cape Peninsula. Recharging batteries ahead of the Great Southern Bioblitz.

103.6 K IDs across iNat.

Adding to my life list week by week. The ones we 'always' see that I forget to iNat. The - only a few obs on iNat. And an undescribed Crassula.

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.

July wildflower hikes

Winter in the Cape. From grey wet days when we scuttled home early as soon as we had seen our target species. To those magnificent days with a sparkling sapphire sky when we could enjoy the views.
