[edit] Video
Nice video. Do you have a still? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gergyl (talk • contribs) 06:59, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
- Hi Glen, have uploaded a recent pic, but have got problems getting it to look correctly formatted....any pointers? Aviceda talk 09:48, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
- I see what you mean now. I don't think there is an easy way to do that. The <br style="clear:both"> tag always skips right to the bottom of the taxobox. It'll be OK when someone adds some text!

- You should crop the still to centre the bird, for the primary ID pic. Vertical format I guess.--Gergyl (talk) 03:07, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
- I used to take original pics with bird centered but received lots of (constructive) criticism :::suggesting I should use the "rule of thirds", now I try and compose shots in this manner but have problems with centering of square thumbnails in web-photo albums!

- Croppiing to third-points (or something similar) is fine for general pics, though it can look a bit odd for birds. I was just suggesting that for the main identification pic for a species account (where 'tis now), a centred pic is probably more appropriate.--Gergyl (talk) 04:24, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
- Hi Glen, have just noticed the caption "immature" on the image of the bird that you've 'swapped' in the Taxobox, this was the bird that was singing(?) in the video-clip and I'm fairly sure it's a full-adult. Aviceda talk 03:22, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
