    As far as I am aware, there are no restrictions on 'newbies' posting photos - I know I posted some on the Random thread the day I joined.
    I could not give ' thanks' for a while but was allowed to post photos.

    Thanks keps,but they've changed the format in recent weeks;you must have more than 50 posts now before you can post images,links,etc.
    It's going to take me an age to reach 50 posts!

    Love the spar pic. Probably my favourite bop.
    As for built up areas- it's probably the best hunting grounds for a spar. With so many people feeding small garden birds these days the spars will be looking for them in the gardens.

    Thanks Bonedigger, I use a bridge camera, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX200V. I think the main thing is trying to hold the camera steady.

    Yeah,I use a SONY Cyber-shot myself,especially for the macro shots - it's ancient but takes great shots!In fact,it takes better macro shots than my Nikon D5100.I really need to buy myself a Nikor macro lens soon though.I bought a 300mm. zoom for the Nikon not long ago,but I'm kinda raging I didn't hold off an invest in a 400mm. instead.Enough about cameras and the like.Thanks again.

    I forgot to say,I saw a stunning lime-green coloured crab spider for the first time in my garden only early this year - an amazingly beautiful looking thing!

    Thrush nightingale. Tends to keep to heavy cover, but distinctive song gives him away.

    Ah now you're putting the pressure on!I'm not that sure that they'll be of the highest quality(as he makes his excuses already!),but I'll give it a go anyway.
