Hello Noni, Welcome to Project Noah. You have a beautiful first spotting and I look forward to more. As you know, Project Noah is a site dedicated to wildlife; so you can share photos that you have taken of wildlife and engage with the PN community. Please do not take photos from the Internet or from others without permission. Do write something in all the boxes especially where you saw it (Habitat). Enjoy the site. Keep posting. Have fun.
