I'd forgotten that the forum software translates BB Code into HTML.
Doug's answer is the correct one.
Hi Jeremy,
You've used the HTML <IMG> tag, which won't work here. You need to use the BB Code tag.
The easiest way is to click on the Insert Image icon (to the left of the Quote icon) and paste your image URL into the text box.
Regards,
Stuart

Hi, Jeremy,
You can see that URL here:
To capture that, If you have the image showing on the Web page, right click on it (Windows) and select Copy Image Location. Then paste that into the message you are composing, between the IMG tags.
By the way, when you get it to work, I suggest you center the image (as I did here). Just select the entire line with the IMG tags and click on the "Center" button at the top of the composing screen. Our host likes them that way, and by doing it yourself, it will save him the trouble of jumping in doing it to your message himself.
Best regards,
Doug
What you have between the IMG tags here is a link to the page showing the image. You need to use the URL of the image itself:

Jeremy, looks to me like a noisy miner and a couple of Musk lorikeets.
Am I close?
The plane of focus looks slightly off. The front of the bird bath looks sharper than the chooks.
With that dark background, and getting in a little closer, that shot can really hum.
I presume it's your birdbath. Any chance of working on some more images?
Are you using a tripod?

Hi Andy,
The images were just tests to get used to posting images. The lens used is a really cheap Russian "Rubinar" lens (500mm F5.6) as I do not own a "serious" telephoto lens. That lens is part of my astro imaging setup. I'm going to get a good 400mm lens later.
Yes thats one of my bird baths - sorry but I don't know what variety of bird those are. In summer we heaps heaps of birds in the garden to feed off the flowers and use the bird baths. I really need a far superior lens (and a lot of patience) to to get good quality pics. After I post this reply I'll have a search for a few more bird bath pics - but please note they are more in the class of happy snaps.
Regards,
Jeremy.
