The Great Southern Bioblitz 2021 is days away!
Hello everyone,
The Great Southern Bioblitz is back for another year. After an amazing event in 2020 the Southern Hemisphere once again gets the opportunity for a large-scale BioBlitz during its Spring. This year's observation period will run from October 22nd-25th, the perfect time for birds, flowering plants, bugs and more.
Spring is the peak time for most species with plants flowering following the cool damp winter and before the heat of summer. It's also the time when most fauna species are active. Large areas of Australia have had a wet winter and early spring this year, so the conditions should be perfect for you to get out and explore your local area to discover what’s around. So, please get involved in this event.
The goal is for members of the community and visitors to the City of Moreland to record as many species as possible during the event dates. Participants are encouraged to submit all observations of plants, animals, insects etc. and it doesn’t matter if they’re from conservation areas, parks or even your backyard. It all counts and will help to demonstrate the diversity of species that call the area home.
Anyone can participate in the Bioblitz, whether as an individual, a family or as a member of an organisation.
This project has been setup to bring together all of the amazing observations that residents / visitors to the City of Moreland will take during the Bioblitz, and also as a way to see how how other members of this great community are going.

Thanks for the mention. I will be participating in the Bioblitz, but for a different project as I am no longer in the City of Moreland.
Hello @vireyajacquard, no worries. Great to have you participating again in 2021.
Hope I can add my counts of Westbreen Creek and thank you for the reminder :)
Hello @annalanigan, thanks for your message. My apologies if I "spammed" you a few times, but you appeared in the "high observer" count for quite a few council areas. Great to have you on board in 20201. Thanks, Tony
Hi Tony . Your Bioblitz project invites RESIDENTS to participate. I live in Moonee Valley but have several Birdata sites in Moreland so I would like to participate. I'll add images over the days anyway and see what happens.
Hi @annalanigan,
Anyone can take part. If you upload a photo the geo-location data in the photo will associate the photo appropriate project. So you take photos anywhere. I just created projects for a wide range of areas to sweep up all the observations that get posted. You can joina s amny projects as you like also.
Thank you,
Tony
