Hi Tez
In case you haven't found it yet, here is a post about posting photos.

And here for avatars
Size 150 pixels x 150 pixels seems to work well.

Seeing as you are from Ulladulla, you probably need help (joke).
Welcome, by the way. We need more people from the South Coast and Highlands on this forum.
Cheers
Denis

Well done, Tez.
You got there.
I have been observing your practice runs, over at the "How to post a photo" page.
I think you were getting caught out by the Page 3 trick which this forum specialises in.
The comment gets posted, but you cannot find it - because the default display is Page 1 of any "thread", not the most current message. So you post it again, and again.
Then you realise.....
.
Finally you have mastered the Art.
Well done.
.
Nice Black-tailed Native-hen, by the way.
.
The Canberra birders are reporting them frequently at the moment. This species is experiencing a population dispersal, for which it is famous. It is called an "irruption". Unlike volcanoes, that word is spelled with an (I) not an (E).
.
It is a good record for the South Coast, as normally it is an inland bird.

Hi Tez

I have decided to join you on this wonderful forum. Great photo. I think it is time you put together a Nazza bird list for the bushcare group - please?
