Spring is here, bugs go out, time to spot !

Hi nature enthusiasts,

I thought it would be great to organize a catch-up session altogether somewhere around in Wellington or around, to discuss the projects we are going to setup with the nature awakening. I suggest we meet in a pub, with some beers and nibbles, as we did at least once on the waterfront. Who is on for this ?
We can have a first start next Friday or Saturday ? 5-6-7pm-ish ? What about Sprig and Fern in Thorndon, for a night spotting at the botanical afterwards ;).
Looking forward to meet you again !
Cheers
Jean

ps: I took the 100 first people of the last challenge outcome list. Please feel free to add missing people that may be interested !

Hi, this sounds amazing and I would love to attend but I’m currently in Europe!

Great idea - so this would be the 20th or 21st? If so @leonperrie and I are keen.

Publicado por naturewatchwidow 7 meses antes

I'm keen, Friday 20th would suit me better but could make Saturday 21st work as well.

Great idea! Saturday 21 October could work for me.

I can do either day. Saturday is probably a bit easier for me though.

Hi all,

Great to hear from you and see that you're interested !! I was thinking to last Friday and yesterday initially, but the weather was not really friendly... According to the forecast next weekend looks better (for the moment), so let's do Saturday 21 - I prefer to avoid the traffic jam on Friday evening ;). What about 6pm at Sprig and Fern Thorndon Saturday 21 ? Not sure, if we need to book a table before, bt maybe better ? Please confirm if you will come :).

See you next weekend !

Thanks @jeanro, turns out I have just organised a last-minute getaway for the Labour weekend so won't be around this time, but definitely keen to join a catch up session at some point. Cheers, Michael

It's really great that you're organising a meet-up again, but we won't be able to attend this time :)
Have a good one!

Kate Jordan is keen to come to.

Awesome, I sent a request for booking a table. If no news tomorrow, I'll call them.
The weather forecast is not too bad so far.

Publicado por jeanro 7 meses antes

Table booked at S&F for 6 pm ;) see you there !

Hey guys, sorry to bail at the last second but I don't feel great so I'm going to stay home for this one. If there are any plans being made, I'm keen to hear them.

Publicado por shaun_thompson 7 meses antes

Hi @shaun_thompson no worries, hope you're feeeling better now. There was not much things to see, but that's still pretty cold at night, it will be better in November. Maybe we can organize something for the Bioblitz, I see there is no project in NZ so far for this year.

was a bit MIA from inaturalist hope the hui was awesome. keep me in the loop for future ones.

Publicado por dbiaggio 5 meses antes

@dbiaggio yes sure !

For the other ones, are you interested to do something for the Great Southern Bioblitz which will happen next weekend ?
The weather forecast is not very nice for Friday, but Saturday afternoon /evening and Sunday look ok; any thoughts ?
