    Dolphin off County Antrim??

    Is this a dolphin? Which kind? I seen it off the coast of Northern Ireland on Wednesday 3rd May 2017, near Torr Head. Sorry about the poor quality photo - I've inset a closeup into the photo. Many thanks, Keith.

    Pine Marten??

    My son has just set up a camera trap at the back of our garden, and although he has put some food out, this animal didn't stop for the food.... he seemed to be passing by. I've combined three images unto one, as he approaches the camera and then walks away. I can't see his face at all...

    Romanian Flower??

    Can anyone help me with this fairly common flower I noticed in Romania last Summer. It was quite like a Sunflower or Marigold, and was growing along the roadside and river banks. Many thanks, Keith.

    Vole tunnels??

    On our way through Germany and Austria last Summer, these tunnels in the grass were very common at layby stops...... As we don't really have Voles where I come from (N.Ireland), and I assume these were made by voles, can anyone tell me which species normally does this. Many thanks, Keith.

    Electronic Grouse Call???

    I'm sure the subject has been discussed before, tho' I can't find it. Is there such a thing as an Electronic Grouse Call? In the area where I cut turf, there are quite a few grouse, and in the Spring time the males are calling and displaying. I was thinking of erecting a hide and using a...

    40D - AF won't work...

    I've searched through the messages but can't find this problem - tho' maybe there is a thread on it somewhere..... I'm using a Canon 40D, and 2 days ago the Auto focus wouldn't settle on the subject - sometimes it would, but mostly it wouldn't. This happened in good light, and good contrast...

    Is this Oak Eggar?

    My son found this caterpillar on the hill yesterday, and I took a photo of it - It doesn't resemble the illustrations in my identification book - do they vary in colour - Is it Oak Eggar? Keith.

    Treecreeper at feeders

    Here's a couple of shots of a treecreeper that's visiting our feeders. I've made a tripod shaped feeding station out of branches, and the little fellow comes every day - initially he'd start off at the bottom of the branch and work his way up, but now he's flying straight to the feeders. Keith.

    Harrier book illustrations.....

    I haven't posted here for a long time as I've been working on illustrations for a book on Hen Harriers in Northern Ireland. The author, Don Scott, has studied these birds intensively for almost 30 years in the Glens of Antrim...

    Fair Isle 1960 Photos ??

    I purchased a quantity of transparencies taken in the late 1950's early 1960's, and notice that about 100 of them were taken on Fair Isle. The photographer (Eric Meadows from Luton, England) appears to have taken a cruise around the Scottish Islands, possibly organised by the National Trust or...

    Portable hard drive?

    What do you folk do when you're away on a holiday with no computer? I'm off in a few weeks time to an offshore island off the coast of Ireland - and intend to be there for a few days. I suppose the best option is to invest in a portable hard drive. Amazon have these for sale without the...

    A Curlew in the foreground - Philip Coxon

    Almost finished this book, and I've really enjoyed it. An RSPB warden's season on North Uist back in the 70's, tho' it was written in the 80's. Sadly, the author seems to have passed away just before it was published. Secondhand of course. I've really enjoyed reading it. Keith.

    How do I survey a Windfarm?

    How do other people survey Windfarms in their areas, to assess the number of kills? Do most Windfarm companies own the mountain where the Windfarm is, or do they rent it? - Is access difficult? - do Windfarm engineers take a dim view of tresspassers looking for casulties? Are casulties usually...

    How's it done?

    Here are a couple of oil paintings by John Trickett (I hope he doesn't mind). I'm always trying to figure out how a painting is executed - and gain a few tips in the process. I've only had the privilege of viewing a few original 'Tricketts', and when I did, I've had a close look at the canvas...
