📜 EwA Week Highlights: Light-vented bulbul on the Keelung River, Fells Nature Documentation Walk this Sat & more...

[Claire O'Neill]

Here's the recap of another busy week at EwA and a few highlights of what's coming...

📸  So many great sightings again this week. If we have to pick one, that'd be the observation of a Taiwan bulbul (Pycnonotus sinensis), a subspecies of Light-vented bulbul, spotted by our friend Yvonne on the Keelung River, Nangang District, in Taiwan–as you may have guessed :-) We miss Yvonne in the field, but we're rewarded by the sightings that she shares with all on iNaturalist. We're a little bit with her over there!

📊 Thanks to all for great biodiversity records this week! - totaling 231 observations of 161 distinct species. Curious about this week's records that have been validated by the iNat community so far? > here.

Running tally: 🏆  To date, we recorded 82,574 observations of 6,801 distinct species! Check our EwA umbrella project and see the details per site/observer & more... > here. 

 

  EwA Coming Public Events

Field Events » Space is limited for all our field events. Wildlife ethics is important to us and we seek to avoid putting pressure on natural habitats that large gatherings unavoidably do. We are asking our audience to register-and-commit to avoid no-shows (or cancel when you know you can't come) [ Events details & registration ].

• Fells Nature Documentation (September, 25th - 9:30 am | registration) » Learn how you can help the plants, the wildlife, and habitats of the Fells through EwA's participatory nature science program. No skills required other than a genuine interest in observing, learning and recording.

■ EwA Fieldwork (& Resources)

We are monitoring phenology and entomofauna weekly at all sites. Our biodiversity and habitat documentation fieldwork is also as healthy as ever thanks to our group of core citizen scientists who simply rock!
