Hello, everyone...
Sorry I've not been about recently... I've been ill off and on since last Sept, and had a few health scares over the Christmas, New Year holiday. Nothing serious! We just thought they might be at the time.
Then, I started having problems with my Flickr account. I had set it up as an ongoing direct debit account, but for whatever reason come January it couldn't take the money. They tried various different things, but at the time I felt so rough I didn't really care... and then they wanted me to set up a Google Pay account and I just got fed up. I am not techie, and having to try and keep up with all these accounts just does my head it. If the banking system or Paypal don't work, well then... I just think I must not need it that badly.
I decided to switch over to a free account... less storage, and the fees keep going up every year anyway. I knew I was too many photos over the limit, so I asked Snowlynx to go through and delete all the oldest ones... which is a long, laborious effort, as it turns out. Flickr support staff send us a work-around to delete a lot in one go, and so that's what he did a few days ago.
The issue is, something seems to have gone awry.
It's deleted all the RECENT photos. And left the old ones. 
So, if anyone looks at any of my recent posts and the link shows as 'broken'.... well, that's why. I'm sorry about that. I've got some taken over the past few days, so will try and get them uploaded and push the broken links further down the list. (sigh) All my lovely pics... fortunately all the good ones are saved, (I have more photos of sparrowhawks than I'll ever need) but it's still annoying.
