Scroll down below your post (in full editor) and there's an attachments tab where you can add your files ... I think!

Had obviously posted pics before, but haven't for some time and I think Fermain went and mucked around with the site just to spite me. :lol:

Volunteer at an animal sanctuary; it will fill you with joy , despair, but most of all love, unconditional love of the animals.

Saw a tree creeper in BT9 and a hooded crow (which I think are quite common here but not on the mainland).

Loads of oystercatchers and plovers on the shore at a Holywood, which will probably come as no surprise.

Think your pheasant beats mine Merv. :thumleft:

They really are among the most stupid of birds.

Females are very drab by comparison with males
