Oops, forgot to do this at the end of October, so the numbers in parenthesis are from the last of September.

insects: 345 (320)
mosses: 278 (245)
fungi: 234 (189)
lichens: 203 (158)
birds: 123 (118)
other invertebrates: 72 (66)
other vertebrates: 23 (23)
algae: 14 (13)
total: 2178 (2010)
One month left to go! By now a lot of my new species come from going through mosses, lichens and critters I collected earlier in the year. Though I have also gone out to look at new things, among other things I went on a lichen excursion led by one of Sweden's foremost lichen experts (um, I was slightly starstruck, although he was very nice and down-to-earth). Couldn't count all the stuff he showed us, though, on the principle that I have to feel I could identify it myself.
