Set a personal goal earlier this year to reach 1000 species observed by the end of the year. Just accomplished that earlier today with Eastern Gray Squirrel being my 1000th species. ![Screenshot 2025-12-05 at 4.33.08 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/inaturalist/original/3X/b/1/b1fded115107e097816e9763a1a66e80d0eaac8d.jpeg) ---

…people ask you what’s wrong, why don’t you really smile for the camera, why are you upset, why are you so stoic? I don’t know how to answer these questions. I don’t like getting my picture taken because I’d rather be taking pictures, and I’m not upset, I just have a relatively placid expression most of the time. And they have never seen me truly happy. You, my friends, have. ---

Ok, I made it! 1000 RG-animal species in this year in Andalucía. As I knew I wouldn’t be able to travel (much) this year, I decided on this challenge and today # 1000 was confirmed. I spent 3 nights away and otherwise only made day-trips by bus, train or on foot - and of course my nightly moth-walks.

Had a lovely time being a tourist in Andalucia myself this year. Way too many sparrow photos as I was trying to find the elusive Spanish sparrow. Italica is a great spot for those. ---

just checked and I got 1111 RG observations in my municipality (Gemeinde) this year.

I’ve made myself a birding-rule for not-birders: If it makes tschipp, tschipp it’s a house sparrow. If it doesn’t - look again! That’s how I found this: [https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/325394128](https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/325394128) I have usually seen them in Fuente de Piedra. ---

I see this is based on observation date rather than upload date.
