Odd, why do yours have that separate panel at the bottom??

First frame of it, to be honest I couldn't be sure it wasn't a swan!! But yep, an obvious Great Egret on the next frame along :t:

I have it expanded to easily move along a larger distance on the map

 

[CerambyX]

I'm pretty sure this is a Common Snadpiper

It doesn't even exist as an option on mine (and I don't appear to be able to close it on your links, either)!


Edit - worked out now how to switch it :t:
