Well, we've just about finished our first. Very much an introduction day with the students getting their bearings and learning their birds and trees. A lot of progress has been made though.
I've created my first trial panoramic photo, and it worked first time - having a decent tripod makes a big difference.
There have been a few changes to the property. As well as the restaurant, there are a number of new cabins. A new path has been added below the original three cabins, and the turnaround area (Bird Point A) now contains a very young (but quickly growing) hibiscus maze. I've captured these changes with the Trimble and I will be adding them to the map in the next few days. I will probably create a new map for each new year starting with 2010. This time we do not have the insect points, but we've added two bird points and moved two bird points.
As expected, the trees have grown a lot since last year - so much that they are beginning to affect the Trimble (GPS) performance as they start to block out a lot of the sky. I won't be digitizing the new path because it is entirely in the mixed forest below the cabins.
Finally, here's an unusual looking white frog that Chris found near the cabins:
