    Olu Deniz, Turkey

    I have also been to Olu Deniz and I too found it virtually birdless! There were a few jays knocking about and red-rumped swallows nesting in the town but I saw far more when out on trips. TBH it was way too hot to go walking!

    Wales Info Needed

    There are always queues Mari but if you get there around 9am you will get an one of the boats. In 2007 I spent a week out there as a volunteer, they were running 3 boats a day back then and I assume it's still the same. I think the island may be closed on Mondays and check the weather forecast...

    Id Help Needed Costa Rica near Arenal Volcano

    Cheers both, thank you very much. I now realise my mistake, I meant to type Green Honeycreeper not Green Sunbird, however it is obviously a Bananquit, a species which I already have experience of and I should have known better. Ah well I put it down to the excitement of being in a new country...

    Hispaniolan hummingbirds

    I have been lucky enough to visit the Dom. Rep. and I too saw Vervain and Mango hummers in the hotel grounds, my favourite bird though was the Hispaniolan Lizard Cuckoo which frequented the island of the hotels swimming pools providing amazing views without bins.

    British birds of prey

    I stayed at Aviemore a few years back and I watched Ospreys every evening from the back garden.

    Limavady, Co. Derry, Ireland

    The tail looks very long for common buzzard, unless it's the angle making it look longer.

    What are the best conditions for birding?

    I just think you revisited the site too late in the day. Your first visit was in the evening when birds are busy feeding for the night ahead. Your second visit was late morning, most birds are very active at first light and for an hour or so afterwards. As for waders, I would visit when the tide...

    Are you sure you can see Wales from Ireland? I can't see Ireland from Strumble Head even with a telescope.

    UK Tit..

    I was at Minsmere this time last year and I was told by one of the wardens that they had no Willow Tits and that the Marsh Tits can often be seen at the feeders next to the cafe and that's exactly where I saw one.

    Fat Balls

    I use a peanut feeder for my fat balls and I find they last a lot longer and the larger birds i.e. Jackdaws and Magpies can't get at it. All I do is remove the balls from their string package then stuff them into the peanut feeder. I can usually get 4 in and they form a large solid lump of fat...

    What's a bee doing when...

    Bumble Bees nest underground, so I would imagine that the bee in question is just visiting its nest but then again I could be way off the mark.

    How to open/view RAW. How to change them to jpeg?

    I use the software supplied with my Canon 30D. When you have transfered your RAW images to your pc, open Digital Photo Professional, select all the RAW files you want to view then click Edit RAW images and they should all be displayed as thumbnails, then simple select the 'keepers' edit them...

    iPOD Problem

    I do not store any music on my pc, that's why I was a little worried, it has all been backed up to disc to save space. When I plugged the iPod in this morning everything seemed to be working ok but I have downloaded a 3rd party software package which allows me to transfer tracks back to my pc...
