Hi everyone. I am thinking of getting a tablet but don't really know much about them. The main thing I'd like advice on is this: Is it possible to upload photos to a tablet straight from my camera...
The other day, a flock of birds descended onto a rowan tree outside our flat to eat the berries. They were about the size of a thrush, brownish/mottled in colour, had yellow striped heads and a flash...
