Coed y dinas etc

What a shame we have come to this: no pics to liven up the reports-I do hope the moaners are happy now.

    I may have to consider whether I put any more photos on the blog Kev. From feedback received from emails and birders from outside Counties etc it would appear that they would like to see some put on. Most birders now take photos whether digiscoping or otherwise. I know a lot of people now have their own websites and indeed I am considering this,
    It would be nice to have others peoples comments regarding the showing of photos or maybe some would prefer just sightings.

    As per the first sentence in the top right hand corner of the blog

    "all photos of Montgomeryshire Birds are welcome..."

    I like the pictures.

    I'm not aware of anyone that has any issues with pictures since the most noteworthy latest sightings were given a separate section at the top of the blog.

    Personally, i think the photos brighten up a sighting report and allow the public to know what they are looking for. They work well together.
