I never ever throw sticks for my dogs now, a couple of years ago our Jack Russell went to get a stick I had just thrown, he ran onto it and the stick went under his tongue through into the back of his head. He survived after emergency surgery and a very hefty vet bill (he was insured). I hate to...

We are with Morethan, our lab is 10 and our excess is £90 + 20% of the bill. We discovered he has heart problems last year and Morethan are paying out £200 every six weeks for his heart meds and have been for the last 10 months, at the mo his premium is £40 a month but is due renewal soon and...

I'd just like to make it clear that i didnt/havent given the location of my farm so the owls are safe and part from myself and my daughter nobody else has seen them (not on our land anyway). Just out of interest they have chosen a busy part of the farm to raise their young again and obviously...

Thanks for your thoughts, obviously i wouldnt let anything disturb the owls so i guess that may be a a very valid reason not to invite anyone else onto the farm.

I've recently had a pm on here asking where i photograph my Little Owls, they are on our farm so i have no worries of people setting up uninvited, that lead me to wonder whether people share their locations with others? I'm happy for others to share my owls, the hide is set up permanent and the...

Just to let you know my camera is now back with me fully repaired under warranty, i picked it up yesterday so it was only away a few days :)

Wish i'd seen all this earlier but i did think to check Argos stock of the 60D and they were out of stock at my 10 nearest stores so wouldnt have got it straight away anyway. Its now being repaired under warranty in Colchester and they said this morning their turnaround is about 7 days. Thanks...

I've now arranged to take it to our local Canon repair place in Colchester tomorrow who will do it under warranty as long as they can see it hasnt been dropped or anything (it hasnt). Means i'll be without it for a week though :( If it was older like my 450D which was several years old it...

Thanks for the advice Peter but i want my camera to be complete, its only a few weeks old, we have managed to get the lens off but surely this button shouldnt drop out?

I was wondering if anyone could help, i upgraded from a Canon 450D to a 60D about six weeks ago, today i went to change lenses only to find the little half moon shaped black button that you press in to change lenses has come out. Nothing bad has happened to my camera and its still imaculate so...

I've just shared your poster on my Jack Russell website, i hope you find her soon :'(

Ok, thankyou for your answer Peter, i'm still seeing just the one but it is around the same place everyday but havent managed to get a pic since the youngsters left :(

Hi, just wondering if anyone could shed some light on my Little Owls please. We have a small 60 acre arable farm and these last few weeks i've been lucky enough to watch a group of three Little Owls every day in the same place. This last two weeks i'm only seeing one and thats just a fleeting...

I got my 13 year old daughter a 450D second hand from this forum, we share lenses :)

Thanks, theres several about at the moment and they attack any blackbirds that come near the tree they appear to have taken over :thumbs:
