Great Southern BioBlitz 2021 -Hobart

SciPubTas will be hosting a BioBlitz event,Great Southern BioBlitz 2021 -Hobart as part of Science in the Park 2021! A BioBlitz is a survey of biodiversity within a specified area time frame. During this period, participants aim to find and record as many species as possible within the time frame. BioBlitz' are a great way to learn more about the biodiversity of an area, including discovering new species and recording species range extensions.

The event will be run by local experts as part of the Great Southern BioBlitz. The Great Southern BioBlitz is an opportunity for all Southern Hemisphere countries to record organisms during Spring and showcase our beautiful biodiversity to the world. The event is run by a grassroots network of keen citizen scientists from across the globe. Come join in the Hobart event!
Hobart in spring is a wonderful sight. Did you know the most commonly observed species over spring in Hobart is the Tasmanian Eastern Rosella Platycercus eximius ssp. diemenensis seen below observed by ©di1975, some rights reserved (@di1975 ) with only 15 observations narrowly beating out the silver gull.

While everyone deserves a challenge I would like to set Tassie one, there have only been 1050 species observed in spring in the combined Glenorchy & Hobart area. are you up for the challenge of rearanging these numbers to 1500 species? There are plenty of amazing species including this one Maratus pavonis check them out, apparently they are really friendly and love to say 'Hi"
