donhe OK, I wasnot strictly correctly (you introduced a miss spelling too! deliberately), But I think I have been right through now and proposed a correct category for each E. australasie sighting in the redundant category. But there may be a delay for you in those coming across to you in the UK. 11;40 am AEST 25/2/25. Please correct me if I'm wrong. donhe. have already confirmed several in the new category, These ones still to be confirmed....
