The other day I glanced out to see a couple of woodpeckers on my peanut feeder. I even got pictures that I posted to my gallery and on FB labeling them as Downy Woodpeckers.. I was really pleased to get shot of a juvie Downy. A few hours later I looked again at the two birds and realized that they weren't Downies but were in fact Hairies.
I've had Downies at those feeders all year but never saw a Hairy. No problem changing the id. in my gallery but there is no way to change the FB post. I've seen hundreds of the two species over the years but still managed to embarrass myself.:-C

Oh dear Dan! I feel for you.

I don't really know how FB works, can you not delete your picture there altogether? Though I suppose that might mess up any comments you got.

I can't use FB at the moment, there's something wrong with their coding and it's slowing my laptop down to almost a standstill.

Dan - you should be able to edit your post.

In the top right hand corner you should see three dots ...

Click on those and a drop down menu appears

Edit post is the first option.

Thanks, Kits., that worked. Now if I could correct the spelling on this thread I'd feel a lot better.

What spelling do you want changed Dan? Is it the main title or something in the main text of your opening post?

I can soon do either for you if you let me know what you want.

LOL Dan - you're welcome.

A quick PM as soon as you realise and I could have done it before.

Mods don't like to automatically change things like this as often it's the OP's choice.
