Alice - I honour your thinking - I try to observe the site rules.
Mostly I photograph and log them in a notebook and I check the digital data for date and image quality. The Rhino's in this case are obviously shot in different locations - One with the mud coating near a water-hole and the others in thorn-veldt.
I can be corrected as I am a newby here. If the administrators have a ruling I am keen to comply. I find this facility good for my interest in wild life and I needed to be more of a social creature - my wife tells me.
An interesting point here, at what point should one consider sightings as separate? By distance, if so how far?, surely there would be a relation to the size of the subject, bacteria don't roam as far as say larger mammals, in fact how would one track the range of animals if we don't create separte sightings, or how far do plants spread before they are considered different sightings. Perhaps there is a temporal component, if you sight the same species in the same place but over different seasons, or over some years, or over hours? at what point are they considered different sightings?
Sometimes I take pictures of plants in all different stages and they still go on the same page and sometimes I update pictures I have already put on Noah.
Thanks Alice - the reason they are split (like the Lions) they were spotted and photographed on two different days.
Your rhinocerous pictures should be put on the same page.
