PHOTO SIZES REDUCED FOR QUICKER DOWNLOAD

HAVING SEEN THAT MY BLOG IS SLOW TO DOWNLOAD ON A FRIEND'S COMPUTER,
EVEN THOUGH HE IS ON BROADBAND,
I HAVE DECIDED TO UPLOAD MY IMAGES AT MUCH LOWER COMPRESSION THAN PREVIOUSLY.
THE IMAGE SIZES WILL STILL BE STANDARD IMAGE SIZES.
1000 PIXELS WIDE, OR 600 PIXELS FOR SMALLER IMAGES.
THE FILE SIZES WILL BE ABOUT 100 Kb.

HOPEFULLY THIS WILL ALLOW MUCH FASTER DOWNLOAD SPEEDS.
BUT WITH REASONABLE QUALITY.

Comment Moderation Upgraded

In view of a recent outbreak of Spamming,
I have been forced to add in "character recognition" (verification) software,

I apologise to real people reading my blog if it makes it harder for you to comment.
I find if I close one eye and squint at the funny letters,
that usually makes it easier to read the mysterious jumbled letters.

Duncan's birthday and a beautiful posting

Our legendary Aussie Nature Blogger colleague Duncan has just posted a doubly beautiful posting.

He celebrated his birthday with some stunning photos of Black Cockatoos. They are well worth a look.

But then he has excelled himself - not only with exquisite images but also a very romantic story of his wife's favourite bird.

Read it for yourself.

Happy birthday, Duncan.

What a delightful story posted by Duncan; beautifully illustrated with, as you have already said Denis, stunning photos.
Thank you for prompting me to take a look and Happy Birthday to Duncan.

Duncan deserves all the credit he gets for this particular posting, in my opinion.

Glad others are enjoying it too.

Cheers
Denis
