I&#39;d been trying to set up newsgroups in Opera, which for some reason caused Opera to start crashing. My first fix lost all my mail. I got that back but still had problems and after several uninstalls\/reinstalls plus System Restores I have a working machine again. But no mail module in Opera. The mail side I have covered elsewhere, but I&#39;ve lost my feeds. Anyway, that means I&#39;ll be messing around with the computer for a while longer over the next couple of days to get things sorted out, and reinstall some of the apps I lost in the System Restore.<\/p>\n<p>As for the wildlife, here&#39;s a short sequence taken from a distance earlier today of a buzzard being mobbed by a pair of crows.<\/p>\n<p><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/buzzard_crows_2904091763_a.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/buzzard_crows_2904091769.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/buzzard_crows_2904091777.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/buzzard_crows_2904091779.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/buzzard_crows_2904091785.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/buzzard_crows_2904091787.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p>Taking those was rather more satisfying than messing about the PC this evening. I&#39;ve also been learning a little more about the campus fox, though I&#39;ve not seen her again. The best time (not surprisingly) for catching a sight of her is just after 7.00am, so I may try to get some early starts. She has a particular range she covers, so there are no guarantees but I have a good mental map of her favoured haunts (generally areas with large rabbit populations :yikes:) <\/p>\n<p>Hopefully I&#39;ll get the computing side of things sorted out soon.
