Identifying both 'First time seen ever' and 'First time seen today' for a species

Right now, we distinguish between:
- 🆕: first time ever catching this species
- ⬜️: species caught before

e.g. in the below grid
🟨🟧🟦🟨🟧
🆕🆕🆕🆕⬜️

the first 4 species were 'first time ever caught', and the 5th was 'previously caught'.

With repeat games, it's (of course) more likely that it starts to skew towards 'previously caught'.

It might be worth showing 'first time caught today' as a different case - e.g. 🔂 - with some points reward (less than 'new species' but more than 'previously caught').
