I'll try another, if this works ok I'll get back to you.


ok then, here is what I did
> go to you flickr photo and select the shareing option ( botton RH corner next to the photo )
> select the appropriate size then select BBcode
> select the entire contents of the text box (useing the cursor)
> once the BBCode text box contents are highlighted copy the contents ( control C )
> go back to the PF page and click the "insert link" symbol
> when the textbox for "insert link" appears, paste the link ( control V )
the link should now be there.
I tried using the HTML code but this seemed to put the picture there twice for some reason, I'll have to look into that
good luck.

Great shots of the New Holland Cee Cee. I had the same trouble getting my bucket to work again just because I didn't use it for a while, old age creeping in .

thanks for the comments, age crept up on me a while back when I wasn't looking, now it just hangs around and bobs up every now and again, usually when I'm trying to figure something out or do something I used to be able to do
cheers

glad you were able to get it sorted, that's a fine shot of ... um ... whatever that is
cheers

ps. when I "quoted" your post the link came up in my reply I have a feeling it would have displayed the shot again, phew there's another thing to investigate

thanks for those comments Bob, the juvenile birds let me get a lot closer, perhaps they don't know any better yet. These were taken from about 4ft away, almost at the min focus distance of the DA55-300, providing I don't move suddenly they don't seem to mind. The mature birds are generally gone before I can get anyware near them, although I did get this one in the same session, only the one shot.

spot on beautiful CC, I've got to share this thread, thanks Bob.

Splendid images of my favourite little bird. I can't seem to get so close to them. Their favourite perch at my place is about 15 feet off the ground.

thank you Bruce, the top of my Bottle Brush is just above head height when I shoot from the driveway, Ideal really and I can use the cars as cover to approach.

Wow, Cee Cee, you're on a roll with these great pics. Nice ones, my friend.
