  1. if you just want 3d pics over aerial photos then use google earth, but for os data as well then anquet is pretty good, several guys i worked with used it as it was cheap and easy compared to the dedicated computer mapping packages
  2. I would have grabbed that and got it to the local lepidopterist group ASAP, or the NHM it looks potentially like a sphinx moth (not present in the Uk to my knowledge) from the first two pics but the third pic does look more beetle like, certainly not like anything i have come across before, do you carry any tubes for collecting inverts Monkeyd?
  3. logun s16 is a pretty handy tool, lots used in pest control, dont know about the FT use of them, but if they are about £600 which would leave you a couple of hundred for a scope, bipod and pump, but i love my theobens i currently have an older model break barrel and its just so well made and accurate, you could always try the theoben rapids, which have been around for ages like a rapid mfr which would do both rolls well. there is a used logun mkII professional with thumb hole stock on gun trader at the moment, with a moderator and AGS scope for £625
  4. theoben rapid s-type possibly the finest air-rifle i have ever had the pleasure of firing rrp £943 and you can shoot smarties at 50yards no problem what you wanting to shoot with it? as thats a lot for an air-rifle
  5. you could use a IR LED and sensor across the infeed, would only need two small holes and being solid state are relatively shock proof, somewhere about i have a circuit board printed up for this purpose that just goes to a relay, you could then have that trigger an electronic fuel pump, down side is it would be basically a logic system so it would be either at idle or full revs, dont see it being a huge problem if someone had a day or two. i would be tempted to bypass the existing throttle system and just mount the second fuel pump in parrallel to the existing sytem, so one or t'other could be used, (not both at the same time)
  6. are the security settings on the blackberry still the same regarding the wep key encription? (assuming you have a livebox from orange)
  7. Attached is the PDF flyer and i have been informed that booking isnt nessicary just turn up, Charlie Flier_for_woodland_drop-in_session.pdf
  8. sorry to hear that Chris, no cctv or active alarm that rings you? you can set a yale wireless system up that rings you pretty cheaply, doesnt keep them out but lets you know if somethings up.
  9. I was working for the Game Conservancy, one of the many bits of work i did for them, the deer really really really need a serious hammering, as some of the areas had no sheep, and just loads of deer, With the woodland grouse the numbers are being affected by vegetaion being to short and also the nests getting trampled by deer, i can see one solution that involves a bit of time and a .270 (not endorsing DCS though)
  10. I was volunteer work as well so didnt get paid it was a shock to the system sat in tescos car park in Aviemore in the first week of June with the thermometer in the L200 saying 2degrees and there being a light shower of snow surfice to say i went back to the office. the one thing i couldnt believe was the sheer numbers of ticks from the deer in the heather, i wouldnt sit down for my dinner, my other half was doing a study into tick abundance up there, and found one fieldvole with 110 ticks on it I loved seeing the capercaillie about up there, fantastic,
  11. I did a load of vegetation survey work up there a few years back, round rothiemurchas and kinveachy awesome place, really liked it, but i was living at Drumochter (the highest point on the A9 i think) and i hated it, it was like a 30mile round trip to the pub Must admit i love the west coast, been up to Oldshoremore near Kinlochbervie lots of times, love the beachs and scenery can go for a paddle in the see with the dolphins, and watch the otters and seals, hmm think i might have to book a cabin up there again soon
  12. i know you have to be carefull with attachments other than the saw,
  13. FIREWOOD LOGS LARGE TREE TRUNKS WOOD BUYER TO COLLECT on eBay, also, Bricks Stone, DIY Materials, Home Garden (end time 04-May-09 22:29:57 BST) sorry dont normally like poking fun at ebay adverts but what the hell look at the questions at the bottom, best advert and questions i have seen in a bit now where did i leave my 100m extention lead

  15. hmm another ag college im not allowed on the campus of ah happy days
  16. legend, will give it a go in the morning when i can see easier what im doing, cheers Dean
  17. mine has only done a couple of days light work and i had to fight the shaft of the powerhead as it had rusted in, unfortuntly mine isnt in warrenty, i just cant work out whats stopping the final drive shaft going back into the outer that the saw head mounts on
  18. my ht75 end drive shaft appears to have popped itself loose today and i cant get it back in, does anyone have the ipl or workshop manual as a pdf the could email me, or explain the disassembly procedure if there is one, i have a horrible feeling its a sealed unit and may require a new shaft
  19. link worked for me ok, i think i will try and get to this event, especially as its at my old uni and only 40mins away
  20. 89cc stihl recommended guide bars between 21 and 30inches the oregon 25" bar code for .404 /0.063 bar is 253RNFE031, this might well be the same as the one Andy Collins has for sale on here!
  21. hmmm tempting, i have some japanese knotweed that i need to get under control, and this is the stuff to do it, can you pm me a contact number cheers
  22. is it tordon 22k?
  23. if you want to get more into it, contact your local wildlife trust who will be able to point you in the direction of your local bat group, who will normally carry out cheap training helping you to gain your bat license and will give you lots of opportunities to see bats in the natural habitats and carry out different survey techniques, you may well find they are keen to have someone who is happy to climb trees etc in the group, normally its not expensive but you will have to put some volunteer time in! EDIT: or contact the people Monkeyd has just found whilst i was posting
  24. recon you were lucky to escape with all your fingers intact! nasty viscious little things
  25. spits and crackles a hell of a lot from memory, so not good on open fires,
