How difficult is it to find a roosting Nightjar?
By Birding-Aus, on August 23rd, 2013
I was getting reasonably good scores, but it froze at the end and did not report an average. At the bottom of the page it reports it works best in some browsers including Firefox (but not IE)so users of other browsers may be seeing compatibility issues. With Firefox, it certainly will put a frame around the nightjar if you don’t find it in time and also places a tick over the bird when you click on it, so it is aware of where the bird is when you click and will respond with a red X if you click in the wrong spot. If you are a mongoose, the images are de saturated to mimic dichromatic vision, which is explained don the home page. regards, Chris Ross =============================== To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send the message: unsubscribe (in the body of the message, with no Subject line) to: birding-aus-request@vicnet.net.au http://birding-aus.org ===============================
Yes, at least 1 minute to load each photo. Terribly slow. Jude —–Original Message—– Sent: Fri, Aug 23, 2013 12:34 pm Did anyone else find it very slow to load each photo? I think it was well over a minute, so I gave up.

Better than me Russell .. I did it in 8.00secs .. but then I’ve never sighted a Nightjar.

Not bad for an oldie like me (70).

Hi folks It worked for me, although it was a short wait for each picture to load. Average time for my first attempt was 4.13 sec. I think it’s a great game if you can get it to work!

Being a bit of a goose myself I used mongoose with Internet Explorer and it all worked fine. It was me that was slow, not the program, I averaged 7,08secs. —–Original Message—– [mailto:birding-aus-bounces@lists.vicnet.net.au] On Behalf Of Chris Ross Sent: Friday, 23 August 2013 2:33 PM I was getting reasonably good scores, but it froze at the end and did not report an average.

I used Safari and it worked well. Much easier for a Monkey than a Mongoose!!

I had no problem. Fairly slow download, just like the old days of dial-up. Seeing as the quiz is on a university server in the UK, it might be worthwhile trying in their wee small hours.
