@kiwifergus has made lists that show what's previously been recorded from Wellington but hasn't been spotted during the 2021 City Nature Challenge.
These lists are great for targeting particular species on the final day - if you know the whereabouts of any of these species, perhaps you can track them down on Monday.
Kia ora koutou,
Landcare Research has informed us that any data collected during the 4 day challenge period can be uploaded and identified - right up until end of Sunday 9th May.
So far we have reached we have almost reached 20 000 observations across the country!
Thank you so much for all your support to make this a success

Kia ora tātou,
While I wasn’t involved in organising the City Nature Challenge, I seem to be able to post in the journal, so…
Well done and thanks to everyone who participated in Wellington’s City Nature Challenge for 2021. Particular acknowledgement to @wild_wind, @surfersoph22, @kiwihunter, and @rempson for their enthusiasm to document big numbers of observations and species.
Please see Lara’s blog for a summary of findings and some of the highlights: https://blog.tepapa.govt.nz/2021/05/12/highlights-from-wellingtons-city-nature-challenge-2021/
Wellington was neck-and-neck with Christchurch through the Monday, but then they brought out their big guns and powered ahead. If it’s any consolation, Wellington has a higher proportion of Research Grade observations.
I don’t know if Wellington will participate in 2022. However, if you’ve got ideas for future participation (e.g., expand “Wellington” to include Porirua and the Hutt Valley; more systematic searching; public events; working in teams etc.), perhaps below is a good place to record them.
Ngā mihi, Leon
