Funny, when I listen to Spanish I have a difficult time understanding it! But I can read it easily enough. I think putting your spottings in Englsih too is a good idea - it allows everyone to understand the photos then. But it's good you put them in your native language too. :)
Vindie
Spanish and portuguese are very similar, when i talk with a portuguese or a brazilian guy i can understand almost everything :) I want to share my spottings in my native language, but maybe it was better if i put the names in spanish and english also, i think i'm gonna do that ;) ...And thanks for the support !

My Spanish is poor, but it's very similar to Portuguese, so I can understand most of the names of your spottings! :) Nice to speak in local languages sometimes, though. Looking forward to more of your spottings!
