[obol] Revised Web Link--Re: Photo of Buff-breasted Sand., reported as a Ruff

[Range Bayer]

Hi David,

   Thanks very much for the email below and your other email that it was a
Buff-breasted Sandpiper!

   Your web link did not work for me--apparently because there was a space
just before "image"--when I removed the space the following link worked

   http://www.lincsbirdclub.co.uk/image_3/RuffAug_98.jpg

   Thanks again!
