    ID please

    Thanks for your responses David and Geoff. One thing I failed to mention was that it could move very quickly. It rarely stayed still when I was trying to take the photographs, therefore I am pleased to hear that they are harmless, although somewhat fascinating to watch, being so small. Roger

    ID please

    At first I thought I saw another small spider in the wash-hand basin, but after enticing it on to a piece of paper, on closer inspection it appeared to be a miniature scorpion - it was only about 1.5-2mm long. Any suggestions? Roger

    Wind turbines shredding Italy's raptors

    If you had clicked on the link (recent report in Life in Italy.com) that is :-http://www.lifeinitaly.com/node/6774 it shows a somewhat different Italian local view.

    Camera advice. dilemma!

    Firstly, what 'scope and eyepiece do you intend to use? I believe the general preference would be to use a compact camera, and some can be bought for less than £100 new. As an example of a compact camera used by a few Birdforum members, the Canon Powershot A590IS is listed on Pricerunner from...

    Is this free c.d. safe (from Digital Photo magazine)

    If you are unduly worried David, with all due respect, just scan a suspect disk using your anti-virus software. Some magazine CD's/DVD's include a warning to say that although they are believed to be virus-free, they should still be checked before use. Many of the anti-virus software packages...

    Bad Rechargeable AA Batteries or Charger

    Most Birdforum members are friendly and helpful, and with your apparent attitude you are likely to put off those that can help you solve your problem. My advice is to get the problem batteries checked for polarity before you advance any further; maybe you have a friend with a suitable meter. Roger
