Would love for you to add this to my mission! :)
Yes, hello and welcome! What a nice action series! Sometimes in such a situation we will capture more than one species in a single "photograph". No problem there. If they are in the different categories (say mammals and birds) we just either make one species the focus of the spotting and mention the other(s) in the text information OR we make two spottings, one for each species (group). However within a "spotting" we focus on a single species. So while we may see and photograph several different species at the same place we should not lump them together in the same spotting (subject to what I said about a single "photo") but make a spotting for each species. A spotting is a single species at a certain time and place. So it looks like you can divide this spotting up into separate spottings based on species! One further reminder, the space for Scientific name should only be used for that. If you don't know what it is leave the space blank and tick that box that says "Help me ID this species". Okay, now instead of one spotting on Project Noah you have 3 or 4 (...to make ;-) Thanks for contributing!
