Great news Ann, Shame its not your camera box, However atleast interest in the boxes in your garden is there. Maybe over the coming weeks activity will switch to the camera back who knows with these little birds Karen, Great you've had another nest wriggle even with the snow. I hope we are on for a season starting in March this year, Really hope the weather doesn't mess it up again.

Good news Ann & Karen, so pleased for you. Hopefully, some of your good luck will rub off as we're seeing nothing of blue or great tits at all, but it's bitterly cold outside (to me anyway!) and the snow has frozen on the ground.

I sat and looked and thought really carefully that i would move the box that was used last year and had interest this year in the hope that the camera box will start to get the visits instead, to be honest id say the two boxes may have been to close for comfort anyway. i think there is still time and i haven't upset anything i'm swapping the one i've taken down for another in a different part of the garden

Hi Ann, trust me if I can work out the photo upload then I know anyone can. I am not technically minded in any way shape or form. Paul had to help me even get on the forum . Matts instruction are fantastic but I was still confused because like you I could upload the photo then my mind went blank. Reading Matts instructions I then hit the button at the end of the line where it said ‘direct link’ and it said copied. So then I went back to the forum and hit the little icon that shows a photo ( it’s between the email icon and black movie icon on the line where the smilies/emojis are). Up came a box with an http in , and at first I clicked on that and hit the paste button that came up and couldn’t get my photos to come up at all Then Sammi told me to delete the http bit in the box and then click the empty box, and then when paste came up I hit it and and the url for my photo came up, I then hit the insert photo bit and the bottom of the box and hey presto my photo finally came up. If it hadn’t been for Sammi I would still be in a mess as just wouldn’t have thought of that. Know this is long winded but hope it helps - though doubt you are as bad as me with these things. Good luck - know you can do it. Sue

Ann, If you can't get the hang of it feel free to just put the copy and paste link and I will edit it into picture on your post for you.

Yes I kept getting a little blue box Ann, and that’s when Sammi explained about making sure I deleted everything in the box that read picture url and then pasting into that box before hitting the post image or send image. You are so very nearly there. Wish could explain better. Sue
