The End May Be Near!!

Well where do I start! I had noticed on my mobile that all of my photos from blogger were on there and I do not know how they got there. I can only assume that I must have done something with the blog and they appeared. Anyway I did not want hundreds on my phone so taking some advice from a few I decided to delete them all. Well what brilliant advice that was as they all got deleted from the blog and now I am left with a blog with no photos, in other words a waste of time and space. I am actually quite depressed at it as I have put a lot of time into it and for not much. I am going to have a think about what to do next. Its nearly that time of year when I start thinking about next year and where to bird etc. I may do Reculver or the Stour Valley, who knows as I will change my mind every other day I suspect. I fancy just a photo blog with very little words and maybe linking it to the Stour Valley site. Anyway before I rant on anymore here is a shot of the Lapland Bunting taken today at Reculver. thankfully the sun was kind of out and the fog has gone. Also 1 male Ring Ouzel seen on the rocks by Coldharbour.

  2. Marc....What can I say other than I know how you must be feeling right now. I'm at a complete loss as to what has happened here. It probably won't help you or your feelings just now but I need to satisfy myself with some idea about it all and will be approaching at last one 'wizard' I Know.

    For goodness sake please make a fresh start and do it all again....PLEASE.

  6. That's awful, Marc! I hate to hear that. Trying to put the photos back one post at a time would be very time consuming. I'm sure it's a sickening feeling to have lost everything. I hope you'll consider starting over, so to speak, or continuing new from here. Your photos are fantastic.

  7. Hi Mark. Bugs - that's rotten. I echo what Mark James Pearson says above. I get a huge amount of pleasure from your pictures. I do hope you carry on. Is there a data recovery programme you can use on the phone memory card? Mel

  9. What a catastrophe Marc :-(

    As I said on my blog post to you, blogger only lets you keep so much for free, then you have to delete older posts/photo's to free up space, I can only keep the most recent two years photo's, but it depends on the size and quantity of photo's you put on every day .

  10. Hi Marc
    Really sorry to hear about your lost photos.
    Just wondering if you might have any luck trying a data recovery programme with your phone?

    Your blog is one of the first I read, so even if it is not possible to retrieve the lost photos I hope you will continue to post new photos for the many people who greatly enjoy your blog.

  13. Hi Marc, I've been blogging since 2006. I think you should chin up and keep going. Youll soon forget about the missing shots.

    Warren - In my 6 years I have never had to delete ANY photos from my blog.

  15. Hi Marc. Just catching up after returning from Morocco with a gippy tummy. So sorry to hear of your loss of images, but please don't give up. As others before have said, your blog gives a huge amount of pleasure to a lot of people. You can tell this not just from the response to this post, but by looking back at the comments you've received in the past - even if those posts are now imageless. The world needs blogs like yours for inspiration.

    Now to the present - that's a superb image of the Lapland Bunting! Keep feeding us more, please!
