Thought that it would be worth bringing this to people's attention -

.

Storing stuff - photos, sighting records etc - online is incredibly
convenient and makes it easy to share - but as this shows it is NOT
foolproof and I would strongly advise anyone who goes down this path to
make sure that they have their own backups of all such material!
