New records for Montenegro
I spent a very fruitful two weeks in Montenegro on holiday in August 2024 taking photos of nearly every living thing I came across. Now, having taken over a month of monotony to upload all of these here, I have yielded 2,279 observations of 638 species. Among these, excitingly, are a fair few new records for the country! Some of these are just 'new' in the iNaturalist sense (i.e. first records for Montenegro on iNaturalist, but there are other records from elsewhere on GBIF), and others are entirely new in the strict sense of the word (no prior records on GBIF). I stress that the abundance of novel records is in no way a reflection of my expertise but is merely due to (a) Montenegro not being well biologically surveyed and (b) the help of local/regional identifiers in combing through my observations and taking many of them to species – I am very thankful to all these people, especially @esant, @roman_romanov, @okrimub, @zorille, @tayloria and @bagli.
I have used tags to collate these various records. The observations can be seen using the following links:
Montenegro is a beautiful country and I had an amazing time there.
