*The new way I'll blog now for my exploratory/guiding trips:
- Part (I) of the trip will be a checklist of the items we seen, even the common
ones, the interesting ones will be highlighted in RED, according to their habitat.
- Part (II) of the trip will be a photograph collection of the interesting/notable/new creatures that we found on the way.
- Scientific names will be Italicised and in brackets next to the common name.
- Questionable IDs will have a tag like this: (ID?)
That way, I'll learn more (I think) haha. :)
