noticed that the GPS evidence of location is not there however the last photo did have GPS on it, usually move the spot if it is not in the correct position for the bird etc.. This could be a problem that needs to be looked at as have noticed that a number of times the GPS position can be quite a distance out. Example have had some where we are in Cygnus hide come up in the middle of the road. Just can't leave it in the wrong spot, so what happens then as like in this sighting when the spot was moved to where the bird was the GPS evidence no longer seems to show.
