Ryu, I was still trying to correct the coordinates when you confirmed the ID. I have 3 more birds from this site and the camera did not give correct coordinates. Please wait a few minutes.

hopefully all okay now?
Maybe another thing to raise with Aaron about editing details defaulting back to the plants+i don't know which I think is what you were having issues with?
