Phil - point taken it's their forum and their rules - I will, in future leave Verns' photos' to his many fans here. I could suggest where else he could post them but as very little sun shines there.............;)

As i have stated already the photo was used to illustrate a point to, hopefully, a wider audience and he was credited and UW acknowledged. No attempt was made to mislead or to upset anybody.

Vern's reply above has various words in CAPITALS almost in the style of a verbal rant, i do hope he is as verbose when we meet as he is on-line. We are all supposed to be on the same side and i would be flattered if somebody used a local image of mine, providing reasonable protocol is adhered. I aplogised via a PM if i upset him but that was not the intent.

I will continue birding and Vern can carry on snapping and sniping.

Can anyone help I took this of a kingfisher about half an hour ago on the moors, I'm thinking a juvenile female? As I can see a white tip on the bill and some orange under???? (total stab in the dark but that's my mad theory)

Nice image,can see a little under beak,so you may be right,white tip and feet colour are a good sign for juvs
 
wahoo thanks, i'm getting good at this haha!

Apart from white tips the feet are a bright orange, a good book to read/look is "Kingfisher Tales from a Halcyon River " by Charles Hamilton James.

Be aware of Kingfisheritus 8-P a bug that gets you .ask Forgetful elephant,the hours we spent in the concrete hide

There are a lot of Reed Warblers in front of the Hen Pool Hide ;)at the minute but this does look good for a Cetti's W - the darkness of the interior of the reedbed does affect shading. I thought I heard a contact call on Saturday morning and I think JTB also had a vocalisation in recent days.

Edit: having looked further I am not so sure now

At moors this evening. A cettis on east track with chiffchaffs. The first i have seen this month. Otherwise very quiet. Little grebe 12 with 2 well grown juvs on Broadmeadow pool. Teal 25 from flashes. Disturbed by shooting somewhere on hobdon hall farm. Also 10 common terns including our family of 2 ads and 2 juvs.
At Flashes. Very much the same as the last few days. Teal 10. Grelag 23. Ruff . Green sands 7. Curlew 21. Common sand 1. Lapwing 70. Common tern 11 roosted 6 ads + 5 juvs different to the birds at moors. .

A few "small" offerings from Moors west hide this afternoon.

(The bullfinches weren't playing the game, the kingfisher landed on a post a long way to the right, and I'd put my camera away when the sparrowhawk flew from behind LH of hide and across the front - brilliant view! - Can't win them all:-C:-C:-C)

You miss the point.
This is not a forum matter but a convention universally applied in publications.
Public Domain means you have a right to view an item, not to use it.

Unless an item appears in a hard or soft copy publication and is stated to be copyright free the author's (photographer's) permission should be gained before using it for one's own purposes, however well-intentioned. This is over and above crediting them with having been the originator.

Overriding all of this is the small matter of common courtesy.

As Phil Andrews says - the best way of using such material for the purpose you intended is to provide a link or a reference to the item concerned.
