Don't we know it. The wind is moving round to the west now so the pressure comes off the windows but the roof starts to ripple along its length and the tiles rattle something rotten. We depend on the 'wind map' at http://www.xcweather.co.uk/. It's really useful for up to the minute info. I don't...

My Fortins barometer says we are down to 72.14mm Hg now. What's the conversion to millibars?

In case anyone's interested it's b*!!&y windy up here. The roofs rattling like crazy and the floors are vibrating. My weather station at 8 ft from the ground is showing figures like 65mph and it doesn't transmit gusts! We live on the west coast of Skye and look directly down the barrel of where...

I have a D3 and 70-200VR. There should be no problem. The lens doesn't have electronic aperture so it can't be the contacts. My bet is that he's bent the aperture lever on his D3. Can you get to compare it with your other cameras?

Not cheap is it!

Could this be the mark of a Scot on the design team?

Know it well, very good document but it doesn't help with a lot of the problems. No doubt it will all get sorted out soon.

I just upgraded a week ago and CS4 is mostly working OK after a lot of fiddling about but be aware a LOT of people are having trouble. Before you jump have a look at the adobe forum http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.ee6b366/ My problems have been, but not limited to: graphics card drivers...

Don't worry too much about the head clogging. I have 2200 and a 2400. The 2200 is ideal for a month or more at a time and the minor clogs it gets are easily cleared. The R2400 sometimes is unused for a week and has never had a nozzle clog yet. Ink is quite expensive but I'd have to do a lot more...

Quite like this one taken at Struan Pier on Skye

It needs a bit of blue Skye thinking

Sadly I didn't know Duncan the mechanic last year when I wanted one :( Does he work at Highland Motors? It's Camas Mòr and I have a picture from there on my website. I didn't see the campsite though. I shall have to go back and pay a visit. The slipway there is a very nice place to go and...

Dunvegan campsite, off season.

They seem to go bonkers and kill everything handy, much like foxes, and then just eat to satisfy. . The hens are also pretty nervous when the hen harrier pays a visit and the sparrowhawk which eats the visiting pigeons. Curiously they recognise the difference and completely ignore the buzzards...

Otters are easily big enough. I talked to a crofter recently who lost 2 geese to an otter which beheaded them. We have lost 2 hens to a weasel but the cat got the weasel 2 days later. Otters typically destroy the entire flock.
