Can we pinch the piccy Mark for the ID pages?

How do you think it would be best to use it Suzi, would it need to be linked in somehow with the ID pages? Or maybe just a single new page like a small feature on the site, 'is it a frog or is it a toad'?

There is a page on the KRAG site I did a couple of years ago

http://www.kentarg.org/species_identification.htm

I like this format as it gives the main differences between each of the species that are sometimes difficult to distinguish.

I like your KRAG page but as a quick guide I think photos alone are handy. Some people just turn off when they see any text beyond the caption! Perhaps a photo ID section with a flag towards "Still not sure...see the ID pages" or something like that.

Some of the photos on this site are just so excellent it always seems a shame they get buried and are often difficult to re-find. Also many of us go off-topic in a thread and it might start off on slow worms and end up with adders. Then if adder pix have been included it is nigh on impossible to find them.

As I say I don't want more work for you. What do others think?

Ta for permission to pinch the piccy Mark.

OK, I'm still not sure how can best do this, do we just need a page with a caption at the top and then various photographs on the page of a single species for people to look at, or do we need a comparision page? Trouble is it is all too obvious to me which they are, so I have trouble with this, I know we visited this topic a couple of years ago and one suggestion was that black and white photographs are better for ID as people do not then make assumptions based on colouration alone.
