Thanks for doing that Mark. I would have done it myself but I couldn't figure out how to do it! Lol

Hi Hannah. These 3 pics are obviously of the same whale so I have combined them for you. It's important to Project Noah data that the same organism, at the same time and in the same place be treated as a single spotting. If you have a reason to vary you must state why in the description or notes area.

Nice shot! I'm guessing that several other spottings are shots of the same whale - could you please combine them into one spotting? Could you also tell us something about how and where you came to see this in the habitat section?
