Great going, Richard - just remember this is the Big Year challenge, not the Best Photo challenge! :D

The images don’t show on the screen on some of your posts (but are there when you click on them); is that because you’re putting up more than five images in the post?

That’s true! :D

@John Laing It doesn’t seem to handle huge numbers of photos quite right but if you refresh the page they all appear.
