Hi dpc / Douglas,

Nice pictures to begin with...!

When you drag and drop images into the 'post reply' window they immediately appear 'in-line' and at full size.
When you use "attach files" it will (by default; at least for me) appear as thumbnail, but there is the option to set it to full image (just click that button )

At least this is how it works for me...
Wiebe.

Thanks for the response!

Thanks Click, ... the picture may be okay, but I'm not that partial to vultures , but hey - I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel

I like that great egret shot, Click! I've not seen one of these birds in the flesh. The best I can do is the GBH.

There are a lot of GBH in my area, Great Egrets are more difficult to find. I was lucky the day I took the picture.

Thanks for you nice comments.

Nice photos - and many!
Today I was guiding my visiting family from Canada. Kids want Zoo, my friend wants fast photos of some of the common wild birds (there is hurricane coming around in the next few days, so I understand him...) so, we went to the Zoo (it's a famos point for some common species)... Not much fun for me but I'm happy he got his Yellow-fronted Canary, Japanese White Eye and few more, very good shots (sporting his Canon 7 Mk2 with 400mm DO Mk2). Here are the only shots I took (in walk-in cage with exotic birds). Easy shots except the presence of happy kids that use to touch/lean on your tripod in the worst moment. On other hand I had time to access the psychology of some people: military family (very common here) - kids (usually) do not create problems, parents asking questions (like "what kind of lens do you have"), local family - I say sorry (being on their way - it was narrow there), they answer "take your time bro", "did you get good shot?"). And the rest in ~50% are kind of troublemakers especially the kids (well, on other hand I'm on their way, so I"m also kind of... whatever!).
