Thank you for the certificate! A wonderful reward for enduring leeches getting that shot.

Oh this was the best surprise to wake up to! Thank you so much, it made my day. I love looking at the other observations as well.

Thank you for organising these bioblitzes, I find that I take a lot more photos during one than I normally would, and then I have to try and ID my subjects, and I learn a LOT. It is fun!
