Pitti/Petra :hi: Welcome back to the forum, I´m very happy to see you here again. I have been wondering about you, suddenly you were gone. :wave:

Nb: I have an iPad, and also Photobucket app. I think it works great, but I can´t do something about the size of the picture on it. At least I have not figured out how. I fix the picture size on my computer, but in the new Pb it´s not possible to resize picture yet, so I switched back to the old version. But i see that in a few days new Photobucket will be the only option.. :blush:

Welcome back Pitti! If you have problems with logging into the forum, you can send a "Help Email" and help will come! :laugh: With the new Photobucket we all seem to be not very happy! I would suggest to let them know also, especially the things we need and miss! They seem to be at the moment open to suggestions!

I think most problems we have with resizing, I have just written a bit on it in the Technical questions, I found a way, though it can be done only for each photo individually, at least I have not found a bulk resizing possibility!

Hallo :hi:,
my name is Lydia. I’m 55 years old and I live together with my husband in Germany, in Leverkusen, a town known for its pharmaceutical industry and its football club. I’m a scientific (medical) librarian :book:

By chance I discovered "looduskalender" last year. Because I love watching the birds in our garden (a binocular is always on hand on the windowsill) my stepson one day passed me the link to the livecam showing our lovely kalakotkas Piret, Madis, Uno, Elo and little Nori. I was so fascinated to follow their development from such a close range. I’ve never seen such impressive and touching pictures before.
I remember once when it was raining heavily – Nori sat alone in the nest – so sad. But suddenly Madis came with a huge fish and began to feed Nori, though he was long able to eat without help…

Last year I passed the URL to a couple of colleagues and we are now a small community who can’t await the return of “our family”. As I saw today, Piret finally made for “home”. Her paths may be blessed.
See you soon in the Forum.

Greetings for everybody!!! My name is Sol, like the Sun, 57 years old, living in Canary Islands, Spain.
Last year I met with Piret and Madis and followed them across the summer until the last Osprey flew from the nest.
Even now, every time I see the goodbye picture with the words "Our Performance Is Finished" I feel something wet in my eyes.
I'll try to copy the picture... No way, so I copy the URL
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid ... =1&theater

During the winter I followed Piret in her journey in Africa, and now, when the time to see her again in Estonia is coming, I joined the forum, because here I can find people happy with the possibility to see the Ospreys, share the emotion waiting for them.

So, you'll hear from me. Meanwhile, thank you very, very much for the Forum. :loveshower:

Hi everybody :)

My name is Pia (username Raziel) and I come from Denmark. I'm 37 years old and I've always loved all animals. I have a lot of pets at home (birds, cats, rabbits, snakes, geckos, fish, mice, chinchilla and more).

I love walks in the nature and taking photos :)

Looking forward to getting to know you and all the beautiful birds in the nests.
