I think adding all possible information is interesting for everybody, myself included. Play and study.

Definitely many more will add in your collection. I like your efforts of putting descriptions along with spotting, that's why I feel its a kind of Encyclopedia.

Ja, ja. You are very kind, but many species still have to get on Noah.

Your collection is becoming Encyclopedia of Spanish Flora and Fauna..!!
