Nice spotting! Can you describe the habitat of YOUR spotting, not a general description. "Please state the actual habitat where you photographed the spotting - this information can then be used to track changes in habitat, such as those caused by human intervention or habitat destruction. Again, it is not necessary to state published habitat information here, this can be referenced in the 'reference links' box." http://www.projectnoah.org/faq Thanks!
