The Southern Right Whale mother and female calf spotted at Christies Beach last week have been slowly moving down the coast. After being sighted around Sellicks Beach over the last few days, today they've been spotted near Haycock Point at Carrickalinga. So far, seven observations of the pair have been uploaded to iNat. Check out the sightings log from the SA Whale Centre over the weekend if you're interested in locating the pair.

Great work Geoff, 79 species receiving their first iNat record in SA! that's quite a lot don't you think?

@stephen169 I'm always amazed that the species numbers continue to rise. The June tally is even a little low, with this years average around 100 additional species added each month. Of course it is getting a little harder, with each additional species added for every 79 observations. Whereas in 2018 every 24th observation represented an additional species.
The more observers we have in SA, the more likely the species tally will continue to rise at a steady rate, thereby offsetting the increasing difficulty of finding species not previously recorded in SA on iNat. We're only at 7,800 species, whereas NSW is up to 17.200, Vic at 13,700 and Qld at 19.400. We still have lots to find in all categories of life.
