Yes Waxwings spend most of thei time feeding on insects, only resorting to fruit in winter. They flycatch from high braches and glide back to their perch very gracefully.If any linger into better weather you will see this.<br /><br />2. Blog. No idea. I'm not very technical but I am a bit of a pedant when it comes to notes 'n that so I like things to be so so. Basically I just scratch around with settings until it looks ok!<br /><br />Slide show.<br /><br />First get yourself a dozen or so photos and reduce them to a reasonable memory size and save them into a folder on your computer.<br /><br />Then just go into your blog and 'customise' 'add gadget' and upload the pics. Done.<br /><br />I am using the new format posting box on blogger now, it seems not too bad...Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01985665182124985194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31159349.post-47515994054307847982010-02-20T23:00:42.788+00:002010-02-20T23:00:42.788+00:00pleased you have seen the waxwings stew is it true...pleased you have seen the waxwings stew is it true they also feed on insects some one told me that the other day ps like the neetness of your blog how do you get your writing and general apperance so tidy,unlike my scruffy blog.<br />ps again i want to have a slide show on my blog to show of the odd good photo i take amongt the 1000 crap ones.can you helpfoggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11139479934137353137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31159349.post-28381140281699460792010-02-18T23:34:14.807+00:002010-02-18T23:34:14.807+00:00Forget sabs, thats easy to string, a poor effort.....Forget sabs, thats easy to string, a poor effort.... what about this black woodpecker tho ?!!<br /><br />Expert stringing !!
