Another great spotting Rinzy!
As per our guidelines, under Habitat could you please just describe the actual habitat where the spotting was made. From our FAQ page: "Habitat: Please state the actual habitat where you photographed the spotting - this information can then be used to track changes in habitat, such as those caused by human intervention or habitat destruction. Again, it is not necessary to state published habitat information here, this can be referenced in the 'reference links' box".
