Not quite sure of the point of this thread - isn't that what the gallery is for??

Don't see the point of the gallery when it limits you to three posts in a 24hr period.
Agree with this... often I wanted to post more than 3 photos and couldn't. I'm loving your shots you are sharing!

The three photos per day is so that any one person doesn't hog the gallery; I reckon that's reasonable. Just spread your pics out over a few days. The size restrictions though are more of a nuisance, and very outdated given how cheap bandwidth is now. The max 1024 pixels width or 900 pixels height, and 500 kilobytes, are tiny by modern standards, and very restrictive on showing high resolution detail. Compare this with e.g. Wikimedia Commons, where you can post photos up to 100 megabytes. The one place you can post larger pics on Birdforum is the Opus direct upload where there's no size restriction specified - I've put a few of my photos there and had no problem uploading pics around 5 megabytes in size and 4000 pixels wide, 3000 pixels high.Thanks,
I think if the site owner (Steve) were here, he'd mention bandwidth as the issue in limiting the number of shots, perhaps one of the mods can comment?
People can always include more of their shots in the reports section as well.

I doubt such things need a point other than to solicit other people's enjoyment or interest. Lets see some photos Dan!!
I would have thought that the distinguishing features of this thread in any event are the opportunity to group the photos with the discussion. Discuss what people like etc. Interestingly on Twitter, I got some unexpected likes on some classic profiles etc but little response to one of my favourite photos which was a bunch of Abdim's Storks feeding amongst burning grassland. We are talking single or double figures here obviously.
On that occasion, unusually for me, on the profiles, I was seated and stable with the opportunity for high shutter speed and low ISO.
Some of my favourite photos are rubbish quality and more about the bird/occasion.
One for KenM which I repeatedly drag out:-

I can't pick a favourite and I won't even attempt an adjective! :clap:
(I note that you had to add 'from across the globe' unless we assumed Essex suppression had awoken from its slumbers. :king
