hi Dave
i do have a few photos of the iceland gulls and have tried to attach them but have failed, something to do with photo size, im not very computer literate i'm afraid, but my wife is a wiz kid on them and will get her to look at it as soon as she can.
on subject of photos maybe you can offer some advice, for many years i used a basic digital camera mostly to record birds in the hand when ringing, recently i got hold of a fugi finepix s5700, one of these superzoom cameras, which is great but has given me a real taste for photography and a hankering for a real digital slr but this is right out of my budget just now and have been considering getting a teleconvertor for the finepix, have you any experience or opinions on these lenses, would value your advice.
by the way forgot to mention the flock of snow buntings that are hanging around the dunes between machrihanish and westport biggest number i saw was 32 just before christmas but seen 11 last week and have had a few other reports from other people.
am doing the atlas work out on the laggan tomorrow and will give you a report on the geese and other birds of intrest after
cheers

Neil, the maximum photo file size you can post is, I think, 297kb. Get your wife to check out whatever editors you have on your machine. Most of them can do file size reduction. I copy photo files I want to post into a separate folder, and then reduce them all to a suitable size. I can then post easily into Birdforum.
I have a Fuji S5000 - it's the early (2004) version of yours - and if you look back at earlier postings, it takes quite good pics. You should go to the following forums which you'll find if you page down the main forum page:
1 Photography, Digiscoping, Art & Equipment
2 Cameras and Photography
3 Fuji
You'll find guys there who really know what they are talking about, and I'm sure you'll get the info you need.
Nice to hear about the snow buntings. I'll look forward to your next post.
Best wishes,
Dave
