    I usually highlight the photo I want with one click. Then go to edit in the bar across the top (as OP says this is called paint.) In edit, where I sometimes have to choose "home" first I click on resize. Ask again Triky if you need to, enjoy France first!

    Very difficult to explain as I have no idea. I actually meant when copying in photoshop it makes a duplicate not a copy then renames it as a copy.

    Nothing to do with apple computers at all.

    Well spotted.

    OP 

    Have you come across the Osprey photo hides on the Gwash River trout farms. 

    I saw a pic being sold at the Red Kite site that left me disappointed in the pics I took, but have since found the ones on sale were not taken on  the resevoir but at this trout farm and the birds come within 5 meters of the hide.

    Looking at the pics taken here they are superb but a photo session costs £75

    Likewise, just need to clean the van then ready to go, but don't fancy the 04.00am slot though.

    Have you tried either of the tranquil park sites nearby?

    We try to visit RSPB reserves when away but have never seen a Red Backed Shrike except in bird books so good to see your photo.  Thanks.

    Griffon vultures circling over me as I slowly made my way to the top of La Rhune. Quite surreal! Also golden orioles and red squirrels at the camp site near St Jean de Luz. Poor WiFi on site, but will try to keep in touch. 😊

    No problem N1805, this rarity was not on RSPB site but on the South side of Breydon Water.

    Pliers hope your having a great time.  Only ever caught fleeting glimpses of Golden Orioles so really jealous.

    Blue, got a reply from trout farm, no slots available until 31 July so I won't get there.

    I have not booked yet, but they do get cancellations I believe.

    I guess the adults would still be around at the end of July and the young could be hunting after a fashion for a few weeks after the adults have gone south.

    I worked it out on the practice area Rochelle set up - How to use club together - Tutorial for uploading photos. There’s various info regarding using different hardware/software etc from members in the discussion.  I understand from posts there that each photo has to have a hosting site from where I understand you use the drag & drop method.  I guess using the following method CT is the hosting site. 

    Using a laptop, Windows 10 & Chrome. Logged in.  Went to end of discussion to post reply.  Found photo.  Right clicked on it then clicked on ‘open in new tab’ then clicked on that tab, dragged the photo to discussions tab then down & dropped it in reply box.

    Will try again

    I am unable to drag and drop the original images although I can open them in a new tab. But I still get a good view when I left click on the thumbnails. Photo inside the National Botanical Gardens of Wales. (The pic is more defined in the new tab.)

    Maybe the reason could be the photo came from your laptop rather than being stored elsewhere.  I will post a photo from my laptop & you can try with that if you wish to when you have any spare time

    4 x Bee Eaters seen at the East Leake Quarry.  They show well but a good 200 yards away.  Will return this evening when hopefully the crowds have gone and try to get better photos.

    anyone interested in seeing them the postcode is
    LE12 6RG which is just outside of the village of Hoton.  Car parking is £5 with half the amount going to the RSPB.

    OP

    You better get hooked up and high tail it back to Norfolk to check out the White Tailed Eagle. The map shows it nowhere near any water though.

    Rare Bird Alert.

    Went back to the quarry to see the Bee Eaters.  No brilliant photos but did watch one bird catch a dragon fly and quickly gobble it down.  Home tomorrow to hopefully go searching sea eagle.

    Just before 1pm today this fox walked towards us but then at the same pace turned into the long grass when it was approx 30mtrs from us. Taken & cropped on phone so not a good picture.
