What a lovely bird! well taken,too. I really like the detail in his cap

I have an idea regarding geo tagging.
It can be extremely confusing if a species intro or even other pictures come with a geotag which is clearly alien. Say a penguin in San José zoo. Or one of our butterflies in Denmark...
The most extreme one I saw here was a picture of two butterflies together, one of ours , one I know from Malaysia and the geo tag was something like 'Siberia' . It actually put me off uploading one from the garden because I saw it 'native' to 3 'wrong' countries.
I think there could be a Geotag that doesn't 'count' for the species. Say penguins get a 'normal' tag if they are in ZA, Chile , Antarctica etc but an ? introduced tag if they are in Paris.
