Photograph taken at 10:16am on Wednesday 16th July 2025 at an altitude of Fifty two in the Grounds of Warnham Nature Reserve in Horsham, West Sussex. This is a Marsh frog (Pelophylax ridibundus), a species of frog which are native to continental Europe and Western Asia. They are not a native species in the UK but were introduced in Kent in the 1930's.

  

The Millpond dates back to the 16th Century and parts of the woodland dates back even further to the 13th Century. A beautiful location for a walk, or to sit amongst nature and so see birds and butterflies in their natural habitat.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Four metres, at 14:03pm on Monday 9th January 2023, off the Mall and Horse Guards Road within the grounds of St James's Park in Central London, one of the Royal parks of London situated in South West London.

  

Here we see an adult Red-breasted goose (Branta ruficollis) from Eurasia, and sadly currently classified as vulnerable. This goose is an example of hybrid specification, being the result of ancient interbreeding between the Brant goose and the white cheeked goose, some 3.5 million years ago.

The Canon EOS R5 is Canon's most advanced, complete camera in a long, long time. It has a few flaws (most notably a tendency to overheat when shooting the most demanding video codecs), but it has a very long list of virtues, including high resolution (45Mpx), great high ISO performance and dynamic range, fast burst rates (12 FPS mechanical and 20 FPS Electronic), deep buffers, great IBIS (sensor stabilization), and a truly awesome focus system. Add an amazing amount of video options and great ergonomics, and this is a camera that I simply love using. Bottom line: I bought one. Here's my review coverage:

This photograph was taken at an altitude of Fifty seven metres at 14:34pm on a cold and wintry afternoon, on December 13th 2022, and a temperature of -1 degrees, off Chessington Avenue in Bexleyheath, Kent. Here we see a Redwing(Turdus iliacus), the smallest of the Thrush family and protected under the Wildlife and countryside Act 1981 with a current status of Red.

  

They rarely visit gardens unless snow is on the ground, and there are only a few nesting pairs in the UK, mainly in Scotland. They migrate to the UK from the Scandinavian coast, Russia, the Faroes and Iceland, and can detect berries using Ultra violet vision.They stay in the UK from October to April.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Nine metres at 13:10pm on Saturday 13th May 2023 off Eastview Drive and Bevan Avenue on the Bevan Avenue fishing pier in Sidney on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. This is one of two resident Eagles who fish from the telegraph pole and fishing pier.

  

Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus Leucocephalus), derives it's name from the Greek for 'Sea eagle', and the 'bald' denotation actually derives from an older meaning of 'white headed'.Bald Eagles can be up to forty inches in length with a wingspan up to seven and a half feet and can weigh up to 6.3kgs. The females are generally 25% larger than the males.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Twenty one metres, at 12:38pm on Monday 9th January 2023, off Constitution Hill and Spur Road in front of Buckingham Palace with the Union flag at full mast, in The Mall next to Green Park and St James's Park in Central London.

  

The roads were totally sealed off by the Police as sections of The Blues and Royals (Royal Horse Guards and 1st Dragoons) and The band of the Household Cavalry rode and marched from the Palace up the Mall and back.

Formed in 1969, with both regiments history dating back to the mid-17th century, this unit is now part of the Household Cavalry.

  

It is the second-most senior regiment in the British Army and operates as both an armoured reconnaissance unit and a ceremonial guard of the Monarch, King Charles III. In 1982, it sent detachments to the Falklands War, where they supported The Parachute Regiment in the Battle of Wireless Ridge.

  

In 1992, the two Household Cavalry units’ ceremonial troops were united into the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment (HCMR), and their operational troops into the Household Cavalry Regiment (HCR). The Blues and Royals contribute two squadrons to the HCR and one squadron to the HCMR. They are based in Windsor and central London respectively.

  

Since 1992, squadrons of The Blues and Royals have served with the HCR in Bosnia in 1994-95 and Kosovo in 1999. Members of The Blues and Royals also regularly deployed to Iraq (2003-11) and Afghanistan (2001-14).

The Canon EOS R5 is Canon's most advanced, complete camera in a long, long time. It has a few flaws (most notably a tendency to overheat when shooting the most demanding video codecs), but it has a very long list of virtues, including high resolution (45Mpx), great high ISO performance and dynamic range, fast burst rates (12 FPS mechanical and 20 FPS Electronic), deep buffers, great IBIS (sensor stabilization), and a truly awesome focus system. Add an amazing amount of video options and great ergonomics, and this is a camera that I simply love using. Bottom line: I bought one. Here's my review coverage:

These are my son's ipod earphones, the iconic look that Apple have created. A musical zeitgeist.

 

I am afraid I am not a fan of the ipod. It is style over substance in my opinion, although there is no doubt it is a beautifully made piece of kit, and a very clever interface.

I want a music player to do just that - play music - and very well. I don't want it to make phone calls, or play games.

 

I prefer my trusty iriver h140. It stores 40 gigs of music and has incredible sound and playback settings that a sound engineer would be more than happy with.

 

It has an open source operating system that is continually being improved by any number of geeks around the world, and unlike Apple, these improvements are designed to make the music listening experience better, not to find better ways of getting you to download music from itunes or buy pointless apps.

What I like most about the iriver is that it is multi-codec, so if I want to play a FLAC file or an OGG VORBIS file, I can; and as these files are far superior to mp3 I often do.

 

I object to being told by Apple that I can only play the format that they want me to play on an ipod, which is why I don't have one.

 

I don't use the in ear type of earphone as in the picture. I prefer Grado SR60s. Unfortunately I cannot justify spending over £100 on headphones, but the SR60s come in under this, and the bass sound quality is equivalent to that of pro headphones.

They are made by a small company in Brooklyn NY, and I have to say that they look really cheap and plasticky, so if you worry about looking cool (which I don't) you won't want to wear a pair. However the sound quality is stunning - which after all, is the point.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Three metres at 20:22pm on Thursday 25th May 2023 around sunset at Patricia Bay , a body of salt water that extends East from the Saanich Inlet and forms part of the North Saanich shoreline in the District of North Saanich in British Columbia. It features a beautiful park which is at the south end of the Scoter Trail. Formerly known as Union Bay, the bay was named after Princess Patricia of Connaught, daughter of the Duke of Connaught who was Governor General in 1912.

  

The park has ties to transportation and the waterfront, and their pivotal role in the development of North Saanich. It is also tied to the development of the Victoria International Airport and military aviation efforts during the Second World War. In 1937, the airport was developed as one of six Royal Canadian Air Force Station training facilities on Vancouver Island.

  

The land was originally settled by the Tseycum First Nation (Union Bay Indian Reserve No.4) , one of four Saanich villages of Southern Vancouver Island in the area and part of the Northern Straits Coast Salish language group.

  

In the Sencoten langauge Tseycum is spelled Wsikem and means Land of Clay. The languages spoken include Lkwungen, Malchosen, Semiahmoo, SENĆOŦEN andT’Sou-ke and in 2023 the Chief is Tanya Jimmy, who was elected in July 2019. The Tseycum people have five reserves located at:

  

Bare Island 9, Goldstream 13, Pender Island 8, Saturna Island 7 and Union Bay 4.

There are several reasons why you might not be getting sound from MP4 videos played from your WD My Cloud on Windows 11. Here's a breakdown of common issues and troubleshooting steps:

 

1. Audio Codec Compatibility:

 

Unsupported Codec: MP4 is a container format, meaning it can hold video and audio encoded with various codecs. Your Windows 11 media player might not have the necessary codec to decode the audio stream within the MP4 file. This is a very common issue.

 

HEVC (H.265) Codec: Many modern MP4 videos use HEVC (High-Efficiency Video Coding) for better compression. Windows 11 often requires a separate HEVC Video Extension, which is typically a paid app from the Microsoft Store, to play these videos with native apps like Films & TV. While there might be workarounds for a free OEM version, it's not always reliable.

 

Solutions:

 

Install VLC Media Player: VLC is a highly recommended free and open-source media player that comes with a vast array of built-in codecs, making it excellent for playing almost any video file without needing additional codec packs.

 

Install HEVC Video Extensions: If you prefer to use Windows' native media players, you might need to purchase and install the "HEVC Video Extensions" from the Microsoft Store.

 

K-Lite Codec Pack: This is another popular option that provides a comprehensive set of codecs for playing various media formats.

 

2. Windows 11 Sound Settings:

 

Muted or Low Volume: Double-check your system's volume settings, including the master volume, application-specific volume for your media player, and any physical volume controls on your speakers or headphones.

 

Incorrect Output Device: Ensure that the correct audio output device (e.g., your speakers, headphones, or external DAC) is selected as the default playback device in Windows 11 sound settings.

 

Audio Enhancements: Sometimes, audio enhancements can cause issues. Try disabling them in your sound device's properties.

 

Sound Troubleshooter: Windows 11 has a built-in audio troubleshooter that can often identify and fix common sound problems.

 

Solutions:

 

Click the Speakers icon on the taskbar and verify the volume and selected output device.

 

Go to Start > Settings > System > Sound. Check your output device and consider turning off "Audio enhancements" under "Advanced settings."

 

Run the Playing Audio troubleshooter from Start > Settings > System > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooters.

 

3. WD My Cloud Specific Issues:

 

Plex Media Server: If you're using Plex Media Server on your WD My Cloud, ensure it's configured correctly and that the media files are properly recognized and transcoded if necessary. Sometimes, Plex might have issues with certain audio codecs, or the server itself might be experiencing problems.

 

Firmware Updates: Ensure your WD My Cloud device has the latest firmware installed, as updates can sometimes improve compatibility and resolve known issues.

 

Network Connectivity/SMB Issues: While less likely to affect only sound, network access problems (especially with SMB settings in Windows 11) could indirectly cause playback issues.

 

Solutions:

 

Check the WD My Cloud dashboard for firmware updates.

 

If using Plex, check its settings and logs for any errors related to audio or transcoding.

 

4. General Troubleshooting:

 

Update Audio Drivers: Outdated or corrupted audio drivers on your Windows 11 PC can cause sound problems. Check for updates through Device Manager or your computer manufacturer's website.

 

Restart Your PC and WD My Cloud: A simple restart of both your computer and the WD My Cloud can often resolve temporary glitches.

 

Try a Different Video Player: As mentioned, VLC is a great option. Trying another player can help determine if the issue is with your current player or the file/system itself.

 

Test with Local Files: Try playing an MP4 video with sound from your local hard drive (not the WD My Cloud) to determine if the issue is specific to the WD My Cloud connection or a broader Windows 11 sound problem.

 

For more detailed troubleshooting on Windows 11 sound issues, you can check out this video: How to Fix No Sound Problem in Windows 11. This video provides a comprehensive guide to resolving various audio problems within the Windows 11 operating system.

but do I need VLC running or do I download the the MP4 file? there is no audio when running the file on the My Cloud site

  

You've hit on a crucial point! When you're trying to play an MP4 file from your WD My Cloud and you're getting no audio when running the file on the My Cloud site itself, that changes the troubleshooting focus significantly.

 

Here's why:

 

"Running the file on the My Cloud site" usually means you're using the WD My Cloud's built-in web interface or its web-based player. This player has its own set of capabilities and limitations regarding audio and video codecs. It's not using your computer's installed VLC player or Windows' native media players directly.

 

Therefore, the answer to your question is:

 

You do NOT need VLC running, nor do you necessarily need to download the MP4 file, IF your primary goal is to get the sound working when playing directly from the My Cloud website.

 

Why the sound might be missing on the My Cloud website:

 

Browser Codec Limitations: Your web browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, etc.) might not have the necessary audio codec to play the specific audio stream in that MP4 file. Browsers rely on their own built-in media decoders, which might be more limited than a dedicated media player like VLC.

 

My Cloud Web Player Limitations: The WD My Cloud's built-in web player is designed for convenience but might not support all audio/video codecs. If the audio codec in your MP4 file is uncommon or very new (like some advanced Dolby formats, or specific high-efficiency codecs), the My Cloud's web player might not be able to decode it.

 

Transcoding Failure (if applicable): Some NAS devices (including My Cloud if it has a streaming/transcoding feature enabled for its web interface) might attempt to "transcode" (convert) the video/audio on the fly for better browser compatibility. If this transcoding fails for the audio track, you'll get video but no sound.

 

What to do when there's no audio playing from the My Cloud website:

 

Since the issue is occurring within the My Cloud's web interface, here are your best approaches:

 

Download the MP4 file and play it locally:

 

This is the most reliable way to confirm the file itself is fine.

 

Go to the My Cloud web interface, navigate to the MP4 file, and look for an option to "Download" it to your Windows 11 computer.

 

Once downloaded, play it using VLC Media Player on your PC. If VLC plays it with sound, then you know the file's audio is intact, and the issue lies with the My Cloud's web player or your browser.

 

Access the My Cloud via Network Drive (SMB):

 

This bypasses the My Cloud's web interface and allows you to play the file directly using your Windows 11 PC's media players (like VLC, or even Films & TV if you have the right codecs installed).

 

How to do it:

 

Open File Explorer on your Windows 11 PC.

 

In the left-hand pane, click "Network" (or "This PC" and then "Network location" if mapped).

 

You should see your WD My Cloud listed under "Network."

 

Double-click it to browse its shared folders.

 

Navigate to your MP4 file.

 

Right-click the MP4 file, choose "Open with," and select VLC Media Player.

 

This method leverages your local PC's powerful media players and codecs, not the limited web player.

 

Check My Cloud Settings (Less Common for Audio):

 

Log into your My Cloud dashboard. Look for any settings related to media streaming, web access, or transcoding. While less common to have an "audio mute" setting, it's worth a quick check for anything obvious. Ensure the My Cloud's firmware is up to date.

 

In summary:

 

If you're only getting no audio when playing via the My Cloud's web interface, the problem is likely with the web player's codec support.

 

Your best immediate solution is to either download the file and play it with VLC, or access the file directly via your network drive (SMB share) and play it with VLC. This leverages VLC's superior codec support on your local machine.

You may notice the huge crack at the bottom of the flower stem - this probably was the bad result of watering the plant during bud growth.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Three metres at 12.22pm on Monday 29th May 2014 off 2903 Ocean Boulevard, Victoria, on the Esquimalt Lagoon Migratory Bird Sanctuary, on the Juan De Fuca Strait, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.

  

The Lagoon is one of seven Migratory Bird Sanctuaries in British Columbia, and an important stopover for birds journeying between North and South America. Visitors include geese and Swans, Bald Eagles and Great Blue Herons, plus many other species of birds.

  

The Great Blue Heron (Ardea Herodias) is a wading bird in the Heron family Ardeidae and found in North America, Central America, the Caribbean and Galapagos Islands. One of the largest of Herons, it has a head to tail length of 01-137 centimetres (36-54 inches) and a wingspan of 187-201 centimetres (66-79 inches). They are found where my family live, and naturally very wary of mankind, flying off as soon as you are within fifty to one hundred yards of them.

Photograph taken at 11:24am on Monday 3rd March 2025 at an altitude of Forty one metres in the Grounds of Warnham Nature Reserve in Horsham, West Sussex. The Millpond dates back to the 16th Century and parts of the woodland dates back even further to the 13th Century. A beautiful location for a walk, or to sit amongst nature and so see birds and butterflies in their natural habitat.

  

The Mute swan (Cygnus olor) is a species of swan and a member of the waterfowl family Anatidae. It is native to much of Eurasia, and the far north of Africa.

This is a Blue Morpho (Morpho Peleides) butterfly, one of the largest butterflies in the world with a wingspan up to eight inches.

Photograph taken at an altitude of One hundred and eighty nine metres at 14:05pm on Thursday 7th September 2023 off the A386 in Roborough Down in Dartmoor, Devon.

  

Dartmoor ponies are free tom roam and graze across the landscape here and have done so for centuries. They are a single colour, hardy breed with records going back to 1012 AD acknowledging their presence and footprints being discovered that date back 3,500 years!

 

There are several breeds, including pedigree Dartmoor ponies , Dartmoor hill ponies and Shetland ponies .

Just today, 11-08-20, copied VOB MiniDV files from DVD to the Passport HD via edits on MovAVI conversion to MP4 files.

The HP Windows Media Player and other player gave up playing VOB files then the three players gave up playing both codecs, so rebooted and new WIN updates and OK...

MovAVI was good at joining stray smaller clips onto the neighbouring larger files and saving as MP4...

The DELL stil plays the VOBand MP4 files with a click or Open with....

Have copied 19 video files to the WD MyCloud to play on the TV or maybe post to YouTube

Then to add links to the still images here.

This is my lil sis Samm i just bought this camera brand new Yesterday so i was anxious to try it out! and grabbed her and took out side our house to take a quick shot lol i guess some of the neighbors were spooked to see these lights goin off so we got the cops called on us hahaha but i just told em im tryin out my new camera and that i live right here and he said oh its really no big deal just gotta drive by to make sure it aint anything sketchy lol so then we wrapped it up. the bad side was when i got home my computer wasnt reading the new t2i codec so non of my photos could be processed on photoshop. after an our of a panic attack i settled down and looked for any leads to figure this out. which in the end lead to me completely upgrading my entire cs4 creative suit to recognize the new codecs that come with the new DSLRs so problem averted and now im stoked to get used to this camera and its HD video feature!

Photograph taken at an altitude of Five metres at 07:52am on Wednesday 17th May 2023 off Lone Cone Road from the front garden of a seventy year old house I was renting in Campbell Street, Tofino in British Columbia in Canada.

  

Eastern Raccoons (Procyon lotor) are native to the southern BC mainland, one of many different sub species of Raccoon, but are an introduced invasive species on Haida Gwaii.

 

They were introduced in the 1940s to enhance the local fur trade, but they represent a significant threat to ground-nesting marine birds. My family refer to them as 'Trash Panda's', but I love them. They are also known as Racoons, Coons or Common Racoons

Photograph taken at an altitude of Two hundred and forty one metres at 15.11pm on Tuesday May 7th 2024 off South Street in Rhayader, Mid-Wales from the Low level professional photography hide at Gigrin Farm feeding station.

  

This is a rare Leucistic Red Kite (Milvus Milvus), one of only ten currently known in the world. Leucism is caused by a partial loss of pigmentation, resulting in white feathers on a bird.The Red Kite (Milvus Milvus) is a medium sized bird of prey (Raptor) in the Accipitridae family, and was saved from national extinction by a long running protection programme.

  

It has now been successfully re-introduced into England and Scotland, and Wales, and they are listed under schedule 1 of the Wildlife and Countryside act, currently with a green status. They can reach 66cms in length with up to a 195cms wingspan, and there around 4,600 breeding pairs in the UK in 2024.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Two metres at 11.19am on Monday 29th May 2014 off 2903 Ocean Boulevard, Victoria, on the Esquimalt Lagoon Migratory Bird Sanctuary, on the Juan De Fuca Strait, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.

  

The Lagoon is one of seven Migratory Bird Sanctuaries in British Columbia, and an important stopover for birds journeying between North and South America. Visitors include geese and Swans, Bald Eagles and Great Blue Herons, plus many other species of birds.

  

The Great Blue Heron (Ardea Herodias) is a wading bird in the Heron family Ardeidae and found in North America, Central America, the Caribbean and Galapagos Islands. One of the largest of Herons, it has a head to tail length of 01-137 centimetres (36-54 inches) and a wingspan of 187-201 centimetres (66-79 inches). They are found where my family live, and naturally very wary of mankind, flying off as soon as you are within fifty to one hundred yards of them.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Twenty one metres, at 12:39pm on Monday 9th January 2023, off Constitution Hill and Spur Road in front of Buckingham Palace with the Union flag at full mast, in The Mall next to Green Park and St James's Park in Central London.

  

The roads were totally sealed off by the Police as sections of The Blues and Royals (Royal Horse Guards and 1st Dragoons) and The Band of the Household Cavalry members rode and marched from the Palace up the Mall and back.

  

Formed in 1969, with both regiments history dating back to the mid-17th century, this unit is now part of the Household Cavalry. It is the second-most senior regiment in the British Army and operates as both an armoured reconnaissance unit and a ceremonial guard of the Monarch, King Charles III. In 1982, it sent detachments to the Falklands War, where they supported The Parachute Regiment in the Battle of Wireless Ridge.

  

In 1992, the two Household Cavalry units’ ceremonial troops were united into the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment (HCMR), and their operational troops into the Household Cavalry Regiment (HCR). The Blues and Royals contribute two squadrons to the HCR and one squadron to the HCMR. They are based in Windsor and central London respectively.

Since 1992, squadrons of The Blues and Royals have served with the HCR in Bosnia in 1994-95 and Kosovo in 1999. Members of The Blues and Royals also regularly deployed to Iraq (2003-11) and Afghanistan (2001-14).

This is my lil sis Samm i just bought this camera brand new Yesterday so i was anxious to try it out! and grabbed her and took out side our house to take a quick shot lol i guess some of the neighbors were spooked to see these lights goin off so we got the cops called on us hahaha but i just told em im tryin out my new camera and that i live right here and he said oh its really no big deal just gotta drive by to make sure it aint anything sketchy lol so then we wrapped it up. the bad side was when i got home my computer wasnt reading the new t2i codec so non of my photos could be processed on photoshop. after an our of a panic attack i settled down and looked for any leads to figure this out. which in the end lead to me completely upgrading my entire cs4 creative suit to recognize the new codecs that come with the new DSLRs so problem averted and now im stoked to get used to this camera and its HD video feature!

Also in Alvor..

 

Day OFF, I'll try to catch up on your shots later on, I've been busy today re-installing Windows and every little tiny and not so tiny software, hardware, drivers, codecs, scripts, uff...

 

All done.

Finally, I've got a clean face on my laptop :-)
