Thanks, Elizabeth. Really struggling to get views despite posting links on here, Birda, Birdforum and Twitter. I only have around 15 views on this post in the first 2 hours (which is when the bulk of views happen). Not being able to post a clickable link on Birda has, as predicted, more than halved ...View More

Aw, Barry. I’m sorry. I haven’t seen much activity on here lately and do not have Birda. I didn’t sign up for the beta and unsure if it’s been released here as I haven’t checked lately. I’m sure it’s frustrating to put all that work in for little input/scant views.

Elizabeth Redpath I’ve even had to reluctantly start a Facebook page solely to promote the blog and am planning a bit of a redesign of the posts to see if that helps too. A trickle of extra views today still has it as my least viewed post ever, which is a bit frustrating.

Well, I was hoping for photos of the fed up mallards. 😉 I went out birding yesterday which was pretty unsuccessful, but it was in the 60s and sunny…and no off leash dogs.

So fantastic you got the Kingfisher! Excellent captures, love the first Rabbit photo. I really like Bullfinches, wish we had them here. Well done, Barry!
