I judge a website whether "mere mortals" can use it - anything this complex
is asking for people to take one look and move on. If the average user can't
figure it out in a short period they will not bother - I certainly could not
bother (and I have some background in website design!).

Yes, unfortunately this website is "two clever by half" without telling
mere
mortals how to tame it, or should that be "tame IT"?  Anyway, I cracked
the
code!

If you look at the bottom left corner of the screen ONLY when a picture
has
appeared (ie don't look at the picture!!!), you will see appear
temporarily
(also frustrating!) three symbols:

Leftmost = Click this and the main pictures cycle through.
Middle = Click this and WOW, YOU CAN STOP THE PICTURES CYCLING!!!
Rightmost = Still haven't worked this out yet!!!

To start the cycling again, click the middle ones again. This icon
switches
from the STOP (ie two thick vertical bars) setting, to the START (ie black
triangle pointing right) setting like lots of other gismos these days.

You can click any picture in the ones displayed to go directly to that
one,
and of course click the middle button to change to the cycling again if
you
want.

When you have stopped on a picture, you can then expand it, and do all
sorts
of natural things!

If it were not for the birds, I would not have bothered!!!
