Michael I feel rather guilty - all the ones on the STEP site so far have been taken by my husband Andy - should I put this acknowledgement in one of the fields. I shall pass the compliment on.

I suspect Andy has taken heaps of praise for things you have done so I wouldn't worry about whose photo it actually is. I thank the pair of you for adding it to Canberra Nature Map
