Thankyou so much for the nomination Fyn and PN rangers......i am so happy and excited with this spotting =)
Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!
Thanks heaps Mark ....what a team getting to this spotting ! EXCITING =)
I am with you on the "Fairy Flutes"
A super example of citizen science.
The only other record of this in Australia was 25 years ago and near Albany in Western Australia... about 4000 kms away !!
Great shots CP. I'm calling them 'fairy flutes' even if nobody else does.
