    I found two more cuts where proportion of the head and tail is better visible. I would still reject WWBTern (which plumage has pale brown body and pale wings??). Maybe Curlews?

    CF Memory card problem

    For the future purchases - Sandisk up to 1 GB caused no problems for me while Pretec 1 GB had to be exchanged (similar errors) Personally I don't see any use of 2-8 GB cards with even RAW shooting

    Wildlife warning as autumn temperatures hit new high

    Not so funny here in Poland too - almost the whole month (NOV), despite cold start, was foggy, wet and warm. I'd say more UK style than central Europe.

    Raptor ID in Crete please

    I'd also bet for Marsh Harrier. LLB would be more compact and less "buaynt" (is it a correct word:)?)

    EU warns Poland over environment

    Unfortunately even the established N2000 sites in Poland protecting most valuable areas may be in danger after planned revision by Ministry of Environment. His saying that "NorthEast Poland is unlucky because of so many N2000 spots blocking local investments" may ba a good example of...
