Hi @AlisonMilton. I read your comment on burn-out and just want to say I’ve enjoyed checking out your prolific and beautifully photographed sightings, particularly the Higgins ones. It’s cheering to know just how many species live around my area.Best wishes for when you move on to other things, Jenny

Thanks Jenny, Yes I can't believe that I have over 400 species in my own suburban backyard. I'm sure I will miss CNM and will still feel the pull to contribute but... I've also been moderating about five species, doing the newsletter as well as two other newsletters and volunteering for other groups such as the Friends of the Pinnacle, and the ANPS plant sales as well as other stuff. I fully admire the two Michaels who put in tireless hours of moderating all species as well as running other programs such as the Gang Gangs. Just where do they find the time and energy?
