Viv !! thats a ridiculously awesome spotting, I can only imagine how much were you smiling at the time. Definitely one up for southern Thailand.

That's actually the first time on Project Noah that I put 3 IDs for 1 spotting ;-)...
But I cannot keep open all my windows until you have made separate spottings. You may can take the IDs after the re-load of the 3 species, make for example some crops and add me as IDer in case somebody is complaining about an ID ;-)...
