Sorry for coming late to the topic. Have made several over the years using originally Apple service then Mimeo. Hard and soft copy books made with both including dust jackets. First was sons wedding 14 years back followed by celebration books for notable birthdays, life stories etc. Always found pretty easy to do with added text as necessary. A friend regularly makes holiday trip books using Bonus Print of Photobox and he is quite unskilled computerwise so no problems for you Robert.

But the rest of our garden and the adjoining house's gardens when added together, provide a bigger natural 'oasis' in an otherwise urban landscape, for birds and wildlife. I have recorded 72 different bird species in the garden over the years. Sadly, many species have disappeared from the area (like much of the UK) in recent years. These days I would only expect to see 30-40 over a full year.

It offers huge numbers of templates you can select to give varying numbers, sizes and arrangements on a page for you to place your selected photos. These 'frames' can be then stretched and moved around each page to better customise your artistic need. I guess other suppliers will have the same easy of use/customisation. I have been fired up to do some more in the winter ahead. So much better than letting the photos hide in a hard disk.

We don't even get as many as 30! Wood pigeon, collared dove, crow, magpie, dunnock, sparrow, blue tit, great tit, chaffinch, wren, robin, blackbird, starling and a welcome return after many years absence of a song thrush. House martins and wagtails have disappeared as have hedgehogs and bats - we live right on the edge of town with open fields on 2 sides, many trees and hedges plus country park within 1/4 mile. We get overflown by gulls and buzzards but that doesn't count as "in the garden"!

The house martins disappeared some years back, as did the spotted fly catchers, willow tits .and the redpolls (although we did have a winter return of them last year) Winter visitors like Fieldfares, Redwings and Brambling are more dependant on the 'white stuff'which hasn't been as common these last few years.  Click here to comment on this image. Of course it's often down to luckbeing there when something pops in unannounced. After the Beast from the East raged in a few years back, I noticed strange tracks across the snow. Not hedgehog, cat or larger beast I waited till dark and peered through the curtains..  Click here to comment on this image. It was a Wood**** tracking through the snow listening for (and finding) worms under snow and earth! The wife had a great idea to try a better photo..switch on the security lights. So I forcused up in the almost dark (hence the red colour above) and she flicked on the lights as I fired. The bird actually didn't move so we didn't need the synchronised illumination.  Click here to comment on this image. Still low light and a heavy crop ..but an unexpected visitor seeking sanctuary that we could have missed were it not for the tracks in the snow. sorry guilty of thread drift.

Much to my own surprise (thought I was using Nikon back then) they were taken on the Fuji XT2 with the 100-400mm lens set at 400mm and with a 1.4xtc converter = 560mm Here's the full exif  Click here to comment on this image.

Just noticed the original red wide angle shot was taken with the 55-200, set at 200mm on the Fuji XT2. I clearly had time to switch to the longer lens and TC before the floodlights were used.  Click here to comment on this image. All these were shot through double glazed windows.so not ideal.

That XT2 worked well. I know you felt it didnt do what you wanted and the batteries were not long lived enough for you.
