Hidden stories and new challenges

Congratulations to Thomas Mesaglio (better known as @thebeachcomber) who won 'Left Behind', our final weekly challenge, with great images like this tiny Austroliotia botanica shell.

Thomas clearly has excellent powers of observation, and photography skills to match, but ever since the Bush Blitz team started using iNaturalist we have been equally impressed by his welcoming attitude to new users, and his patience and willingness to share what he knows. To read Thomas' story, see last Friday's post on the Bush Blitz Facebook page.

Well done @aliciasmith and @kalimata who were Highly Commended for their 'Left Behind' entries. Alicia included the internal shell of a Ram's Horn Squid (Spirula spirula) among her observations and the origin of this beautiful shell is the subject of our latest Facebook post.
