  1. Thanks for sharing this photo. Note that in JungleDragon, members are asked to include basic details as part of the photo, therefore please consider the following tip(s):

    - Please give your photo a meaningful title and description. You can do so using the "Edit details" button below the photo. It is recommended to include basics like the name of the species and the location in the title.

    - You did not share any location info. You are asked to at least share the country in which the photo was taken, since this helps in identifying the species. You can set the country using the "Set country" button. Even better is to geotag the photo, which you can do using the "Geotag this photo" button.

    - You did not identify the species on the photo. To identify the species, use the "Identify species" button. If you do not know the exact species, please share what you do know such as the location and family of species so that others can assist in exact species identification.

    Note that by sharing your photo with more complete details, it will show up in the species browser, the global wildlife map and in search. It helps people find your photo much better, plus it delivers a far more educational photo. Check out our photo sharing tutorial for more information:

  2. It seems that you know the species, if the common name is not accepted use the scientific name - Chroicocephalus hartlaubii. It doesn't work either so I will create it manually.

    There is a problem with this photo/species. When trying to create it I get a message that a species with this name already exists in the database but the identification is not working.

    1. There's a Wiki page for this one, but yesterday at least, all I could get was a spinning wheel when I tried to add it…. I never got an error message, but it wouldn't update either. Posted 10 years ago
