Location?

Hi Michael - thanks for adding File:Magpie with blue wings.jpg and File:Moorhen walking by water.jpg. Do you have photo locations for them please? Locations make the photos much more valuable. Thanks! - MPF (talk) 19:15, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

And File:Low to the ground.jpg - with a location, it will almost certainly be identifiable, without, it isn't. - MPF (talk) 19:17, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

ok i added locations for the images :) --Michael Palmer (talk) 21:41, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

let me know if you identify the bird in low to the ground - i think its a juvenile blackbird but i'm not sure --Michael Palmer (talk) 21:43, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Excellent, thanks! File:Low to the ground.jpg is a juvenile Robin Erithacus rubecula (of the UK subspecies E. r. melophilus). I had to consider the possibility of various related Asian and African species before I knew its origin ;-) - MPF (talk) 23:25, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

ok great, thanks for finding out :) --Michael Palmer (talk) 23:47, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Hello Michael, you added on this file the Category:Quality images of spiders, however it can not be in this category until it is promoted here Commons:Quality images candidates. Guidelines at the top of the page explain the rules. --Christian Ferrer (talk) 14:10, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
