I'm not sure what I did, but I've had the devil's own job with the computer today. I'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've lost my feeds. Anyway, that means I'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

As for the wildlife, here's a short sequence taken from a distance earlier today of a buzzard being mobbed by a pair of crows.<\/p>\n

Taking those was rather more satisfying than messing about the PC this evening. I've also been learning a little more about the campus fox, though I'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

Hopefully I'll get the computing side of things sorted out soon. And once stable I'll leave it alone.
