Ha ha, so no then, that's what I've been doing, I thought you might be able so somehow add it some easy way with it being a clever phone!

You mean the title and Latin name? Click edit, remove the little 'click' where it says 'please help me ID this', add the English name and below the photo add the Latin name (and maybe add those as tags) (Hope that was the question :-) Just woke up ;-))

Yep that's him, is there an easy way to change it without me faffing around with pens and paper?
