August 3<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/strong><\/p>\n

   <\/strong>Sending in your observations and photographs.<\/strong>   <\/strong>It takes a little while to prepare an Invert Alert (about ten minutes per photograph provided there are absolutely no problems or queries, or about an hour if there are six photographs, again if there are no problems.  Contributors can help the compiler immensely<\/span> if they will do the following:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

   *Submit photographs as attachments<\/span> in .jpg format, and not in the body of the message.  (The few users of Macs may do something differently.)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

  *Make sure that the date<\/span> (not “yesterday”, but the date<\/span>) and the place<\/span> (not “my backyard”) of the photograph or observation, and the name of the photographer<\/span> are included in the body of the message (not merely in the title).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

  *You do not<\/span> have to know the name of the animal you have photographed.  If you don’t know it, we shall try<\/span> and identify it – but no guarantee of success!  If you do<\/span> know what it is, please say so<\/span> –  otherwise I have to spend unnecessary time trying to identify it again myself.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

  *Please do check your text for grammar, spelling and punctuation.  I know this takes a little time, but if you don’t do it, the compiler has to.  And please, no abbreviations, and please capitalize proper nouns.  I do understand that some people find spelling and grammar easier than others, but do your best, and I’ll clean up anything you miss.  <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

   Thank you for your help, and for your contributions!<\/p>\n
