It's cool Ginga, and I just wish you're lucky!! ;-)

i spotted them out of the nest allready,i'll load it latter,but not good enougth for the 1000 :) it as to be a good picture,not fozy,etc... and of a diferent organism from the ones we spotted until today :)
i have allready a spotting that could be the 1000,but i'am not satisfied yet,i'am going to push the limit more till i'am satisfied :) i like to be a little crazy Laura:) and to mantain that:) i invented this kind of quests,i have allready two:)i'am searching for a wild orchid and for a albino pigeon:)now i have a 3º quest a spectacular 1000 spotting,just for the fun,not for the competition :)
