Optional May not apply

This may not apply to you. You have not answered "Requirement 6: observe, list, or build a scrapbook?" yet. Answer it and this step will either settle or drop off.

Mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish may all count. Write down when and where each animal was seen, which means keeping the record as you go rather than reconstructing it.
