Daily walkthrough
Return to your grandparents' home and talk to end a day. Intermediate signature counts vary with detours, so they are not treated as a fixed acquisition order.
Read the guide →24 coastal, wetland and rice-field species
Look for Shag across the ferry too, and House Martin on rice-field power lines. Do not restrict your search solely by habitat category names.
Read the guide →15 farm and woodland species
Search the orange grove behind town as well as the chicken farm for Kestrel; check roofs, utility poles and trees for Little Owl.
Read the guide →14 castle and terrace species
Eagle requires castle restoration, Fox the farm request and Lynx late story events. Distinguish species that do not simply appear while walking around.
Read the guide →Nine town species and photography checks
Search separately for small ground animals and rescue subjects up high. After photography, finish identification on the phone too.
Read the guide →Cleanup, repairs and rescue
Do not keep returning to broken bridges before obtaining repair tools. Rescues also require tools from the veterinarian.
Read the guide →Reserve and castle repair order
After obtaining the town carpenter's tools, circle the reserve lake and progress from castle courtyard to walls. Photo replacement, wooden-object repairs, litter and artifacts are separate tasks.
