Please resize or remove photos (was Re: [canberrabirds] Koel in Deakin, Spotted Dove in Holder)

[David McDonald <>]

I have been asked to remind subscribers that one of the rules of the list is that emails sent to it should not exceed 100 kB in size. The reason for this rule is that some people are (apparently) still on dial-up internet access and others have very limited and/or expensive download allowances - this includes people accessing the list via smartphones, iPads, etc.

An email sent to the list a few days ago included a photo 1 MB in size, and three other subscribers have re-sent the same photo to the list.

You can reduce the size of your photos using virtually any image management software (IrfanView is a good, free one), or using one of the online image resizers such as shrinkpictures.com .

Thanks - David

Koel also heard in Holder, has been for the last few days.  Also heard while working in Fossey St Holder at least one, and possibly 2, Spotted doves.  They were also heard when I was last there a month ago.
