What have you seen

 My 'Lappy ' and stored images !!.

Triky, if you are running widows, open the photo you want to post, right click on it, click on open with, top of the list should be paint click on this and go to resize, click and a box opens with percentage or pixels, check the pixel tab and then resize, horizontal = 500, vertices is automatic.  Save the now resized photo and you can then post onto CT

Red Backed Shrike at Breydon Water yesterday, showing well but a bit distant.   The stupid resizing regime on here means that the picture is nothing like the full size version

OP

may i suggest that creating a copy or duplicate in apple speak then cropping prior to resizing would perhaps show the bird more prominently. My osprey pics were a similar amount of crop you would need for this pic. I only ever make changes of this nature to copies so the original remains intact.

I usually highlight the photo I want with one click. Then go to edit in the bar across the top (as OP says this is called paint.) In edit, where I sometimes have to choose "home" first I click on resize. Ask again Triky if you need to, enjoy France first!

On my android phone just now I can zoom into your photo which is very good!

Blue, never heard of Apple Speak and can't find any info on it, ca you please advise

Very difficult to explain as I have no idea. I actually meant when copying in photoshop it makes a duplicate not a copy then renames it as a copy.

Nothing to do with apple computers at all.

Well spotted.

OP 

Have you come across the Osprey photo hides on the Gwash River trout farms. 

I saw a pic being sold at the Red Kite site that left me disappointed in the pics I took, but have since found the ones on sale were not taken on  the resevoir but at this trout farm and the birds come within 5 meters of the hide.

Looking at the pics taken here they are superb but a photo session costs £75

Yes one of the wardens told me.  Think I need to make a booking
