Hello dear all,
Over the last month or so, a pair of Great Tits has decided to nest on our balcony. We rescued the female, presumably, last year after she got entangled in some microplastics she had used to build her nest in the same box. On some of the pictures you can see her missing the toes of her right claw. A few decent pictures were taken, and I figured the Great Tit community would enjoy them.
Cheers, Bas.

It's not really specific.

Here's the only correct one.
Then there is also governmental guidance on what to do when you find a dead animal.
Plus common sense.

One remark: When uploading a photo, the image pixels in the instructions you reference to relates to the pixel dimensions as the photo is displayed in the posting. Once posted, a higher resolution is available when clicking the picture. Full resolution of the uploaded image (with a maximum file size of 5 MB per picture) is available when selecting the zoom button in the upper left of the browser window after you have clicked the posting image. This is what I have learned so far by exploring your site. I suggest you include this in future guidelines, as it will allow members to enjoy image quality when so provided. Maybe include image resolution as (linked) text in the posting to clarify this to those who don't realise this, as it isn't obvious at first glance. Cheers, Bas.

I welcome your feedback on the instructions.
I chose not to get too deep in what to do and where mainly to keep it simple for those struggling to find there way round. Not everyone is tech savvy, and many do navigate round the sizing without any issues.
Also, you need to adjust both sides of the sizing, because the sizing options do not always facilitate photo/image ratios, and will default to the smaller dimension ratio.
Once a newcomer has grasped the basics, then like yourself, they can ask, or even suggest, further. So hopefully you can appreciate why I've not added that part in.

Hello all,
Three fledged successfully today and despite some brief interference by a cat, all are still alive and just finished their first dinner in the wild. Two are still in the nest so everybody is accounted for. It was a hectic day for mom and dad, feeding the ones in the trees and the box and frequently having to chase one that decided to go out and discover the entire city. Went missing for a while, but turned back up in the evening. All are now up in the 'home tree'.
Cheers, Bas
And all five made it through the night.
Number four and five also just successfully fledged. One is studying historic roofing structures and the other appears somewhat puzzled by the concept of transparency....(o;
