Card Submissions for 29-09 to 10-10-12

Here is the latest "Cards-to-Green" map for KZN.
As per the last fortnight, we have again had exactly 10 cards submitted that have contributed to the CTG mini-project.
We now need another 1,785 cards in 963 pentads.
We also have 24 pentads with no coverage;
349 pentads with only 1 card;
252 pentads with 2 cards and
142 pentads with 3 cards.

This table shows number of surveys needed in the respective degree squares in KZN, as well as the change from the last fortnightly reporting period to the current one.
For a change we have had a spread from North to South.

These are the observers who submitted cards contributing to the KZN CTG project.
Many thanks to these observers.

I have also included this map which reflects all pentads with less than 7 cards.
This is aimed at those observers wanting to get out to these pentads.
Mpumalanga overtook KZN for the first time during this last fortnight in the percentage of pentads in their province with 7 or more cards.
We were both on 25.8% on 26-09-12, and as at 10-10-12, KZN is still on 25.8%, while Mpumalanga are now on 26.2%.
Well done Mpumalanga!

We have had a fairly slow fortnight in KZN with 2,686 records submitted, against an overall average to date of of 5,954 records/fortnight [192/day against 425/day average].
We also experienced a drop in species / card. We have been experiencing an expected spring upturn from a winter low of 52.0 at the end of May. For the fortnight ending 26-09 we had an average of 63.8 spp/card, while for this last fortnight we only managed 53.7 spp/card.
