      Not sure, Sorry if i was unclear, i wasn’t seeking an identification, but thought the photo would be of interest to people here. I dont want anyone to go out of their way to find out, it was just a bird I took a photo of as i walked past it and is different to the ones i see here day to day.

        I think most people here like identifying them, nobody’s going out of their way. If you do become interested in identifying this bird or others, I can recommend the Merlin app. I use it to ID the birds near me. It can use sounds, photos, or a game of 20 questions along with location and time to narrow your search.

          The resolution is news to me, i thought what was posted was made available to everyone at 1920x1080. Are you seeing it as a .webp or something ? Ive increased the exposure setting and re-exported at max res, does this help ?

          I didnt realise that posts here could be affecting there resolution from what was posted. This should be around 3,300 pixels wide.

            I also thought it was a blurry/low resolution picture until you said that, then I clicked on it and full screening the picture caused it to fully load. Maybe the picture in the post is still just a preview until it’s been full screened?

              Thanks for this.

              There might be several things spawned from the initial upload and kept around. If i click on this post, initially im shown a square thumbnail, a ~20kb .webp file. If i click on the image, it shows me another .webp which is a bigger file and it doesnt fully show on the screen.

              Clicking a third time opens up a .jpg for me, as best as i can tell its the original upload.

              Maybe whats served depends on the view or app each person is using… It might be further complicated if the server knows whether the person is viewing on a mobile device and try and serve lower resolution. . But i try and upload at atleast 1920x1080.

                Thank you, this would literally never have occurred to me otherwise. I have really bad eyesight, too, so full screening pictures intentionally might make an accessibility difference

          The resolution looks fine to me. I can zoom in a fair way and look at rhe details.
