[quote:2ac74693e4="lmichael"]...., but a question. Heading says 15th Jan but photo says 5th. Was photo taken today?
[/quote]

The message was origianlly posted by Kwan in the thread "Tai Po Kau 2006 Autumn" on 14/1/2007 and subsequently moved by me to this new thread in the HK Bird Forums at the mid night of 15/1/2007. Therefore the date of the message has become as "15/1/2007".

The woodpecker was actually seen by Kwan on 14/1/2007.
The message has been amended by adding a date in it to clarify the date of the record.

To help avoiding any confusion to be happened again, please don't just using "today", "yesterday" & etc. without mentioning the date, e.g. 14/1/2007, in the message.

Cheers,

Forrest

Hi Bob,

I agree with you that keeping the original EXIF details of the photo would allow us having more useful information about the bird record as well as the photoing technique.

The woodpecker photo was taken by Wong and posted by Kwan. I think the EXIF details was deteled/changed due to using an imcompatible program.  However, I always found that the EXIF details of some photos were deleted by their photographers purposely.

Forrest
