Congratulations to Gianpiero Ferrari from Leicestershire, England with this image entiled 'Winter Fieldfare'

''The shot is from my home garden in Leicestershire, UK. After a snowfall during the night, several Fieldfare came in the garden to take advantage of the apple that I provided. This one was very aggressive and took over the entire garden chasing away all the other birds. I started to take some pictures from the house through a window, but I was not happy with the composition. I thought a ground level composition would have been much better. So first I had to build a pile of snow to use as a background and then lay on the ground under a camouflage blanket, waiting for the bird to return to eat the apples''

Unix Servers:

sponsorban.cgi is writable by this script
If a file locking problem, make sure the directory this script resides in is writable. Note, the directory does not have to be writable for the script to write to files, only for it to create files. File creation is required for proper file locking.

Windows NT systems:

sponsorban.cgi must be writable and accessible by the script
banner.cgi must be able to write to files and create files
On some NT systems, the variable near the top of banner.cgi must be set. It is currently set as follows:
Note that under most systems, "." is fine. This specifies that it is set to the current directory. However, some NT systems require the full server path. Contact your system administrator to find the full path to your cgi-bin directory.

If you still have trouble, contact Banner@linc2u.com and I will attempt to help.
