I received an email recently from a fellow atlasser Tony Archer, # 10437, (see his SABAP2 stats here: http://sabap2.adu.org.za/data_summary_observer.php?Obs=10437), informing me of a trip he was planning into the western areas of North West.
His target was to atlas at least one pentad in each untouched Half Degree Grid Cell left in the North West, and as the Coverage map shows, ( http://sabap2.adu.org.za/coverage_map_mapped.php), he has done an amazing job.
There are now only 3 HDGC without a atlassed pentad, 2 of which overlap into neighbouring provinces (Go to the coverage map and select 'Empty Half Degrees" and refresh)
This great atlassing effort from Tony has pushed the North West's coverage to 21.7, ie 322 out of 1486 pentads atlassed.
Well Done!

Thanks Stuart!! Went back this week to a pentad near Mareetsane. Saw some great birds - Marsh Owl, Lappetfaced Vultures, Maribou Storks and Little Bee-eaters.
