Geoff, A shortcoming of birding-aus is that for reasons which remain unclear, it will not process long URL links, so the last section of long links is not highlighted. The only way I have found to get around this is to shorten the link through Tiny URl: http://tinyurl.com/. Process the long link through Tiny URL, then copy and paste the shorter version to your birding-aus post.
