This is awesome @Butlinz !!! Thanks so much for this awesome contribution.

Do you mind splitting this into 2 separate sightings - one for the land mullet and the other for the goanna, so they can be identified as separate records. We're planning to make this a bit easier next year by introducing a new "duplicate" button, which will copy the sighting into a clone for you so it will take a fraction of the time that it currently does.

Thanks Aaron. I have deleted the goanna sighting and labelled the sighting Land Mullet which is great. I have seen a couple rush off into he undergrowth and now I know what they are. Should I post all sightings even if they are of the same species? eg monitors, wallabies

Hi @Butlinz good work thanks heaps. It's totally up to you, but if you post more sightings of any interesting species over time, it'll help build up a better picture of when they are active and their abundance over time etc.
