Thanks Ava T-B I appreciate your help. I didn't think of putting it in the notes sorry. I looked up the missions and put the pictures in the mission you suggested. I have to say I think this website is fantastic! It's amazing seeing all these beautiful animals in one place and knowing that a lot of the pictures were taken by normal people like myself which means that I can show of the pictures that I love as well. Great idea! x

SophieHudson, You're doing fine. I've done a tiny edit and added in the Notes section that you saw this at the London Zoo. You know how to edit your spotting, so you can join and add other missions, like Birds of the World. You can join as many missions as you want to, but you can only put a given spotting into 5 missions.

Hello everyone, thank you for your comments. I did type in that I saw them at London Zoo but I can see it doesn't show that sorry. Sorry that I put the pictures into the wrong category, I'm new and I didn't realise sorry. How do I move them?
