No worries at all Kerry! It's cool to have more than one spotting of the same species - it's better to record the correct location and time for each spot. : )

Ok Shanna, Done. Thought I should group them because they were the same species.

That first one is really cute Kerry! You should actually split this into two spottings - the Tuncurry ones and the Hervey Bay ones separately.
