Hi there - when you change an image (Little egret), remember you have to change image caption too. I do love most of your images though... [[User:Charlesjsharp|Charlesjsharp]] ([[User talk:Charlesjsharp|talk]]) 15:39, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

==Bird photographs==
Thank you for uploading your beautiful bird photographs to Wikipedia. I was looking at the article on the [[Eurasian rock pipit]] and I was struck by the high quality of your photo taken on Heligoland. I've now looked at your uploads to Commons - I am impressed. They are an important contribution to the encyclopaedia. - [[User:Aa77zz|Aa77zz]] ([[User talk:Aa77zz|talk]]) 17:25, 17 October 2016 (UTC)
:Seconded and thankyou. If you find that the article is lacking enough text to accommodate the pictures, like [[White-throated hummingbird]], [[Orange-fronted yellow finch]] or [[Saw-billed hermit]], I am more than happy if you alert someone and one of us might begin expanding the article.[[User:Casliber|Cas Liber]] ([[User talk:Casliber|talk]] '''·''' [[Special:Contributions/Casliber|contribs]]) 20:41, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
