Thanks Argy Bee, I'll try again and let you know. Would be great to get it working as I'm going an a month trip to Tasmania in March, and if I did spotting with just the phone it'ed be a bit hard! :-)

Thanks Shanna and Jellyfishnebula. Sara I am still thinking about your computer problem.... maybe try changing cookie settings in the browser ... and I know there are zillions of types of these. I will search for this when the weather gets cooler (not tomorrow!!) Thanks.

Wiki can't give a proper scientific name, as there are a lot of them. I had the same problem when I tried to post an image I have of one.
