We summarise the current status of our project to identify and classify ~ 6-10 galaxies thanks to strong gravitational lensing. Building on the detailed work by Richard et al. (2006), we present results from new follow-up observations undertaken with the ACS/HST and the Spitzer space telescope and compare our results with findings from the Hubble Ultra-Deep Field (UDF).
