Apologies for getting off track but can you recommend any programme that I could use to compress WAV files to be able to attach them to an email. I wanted to send a fairly short file yesterday and noted that it was 89mb.

Freeware would be good.

I don't know of any freeware I'm afraid, the ones people I know have used before have all been big packaged ones that cost a bomb. If you Google Search WAV to MP3 converter you'll find a lot of small packages, some of them may be free.

Sorry I'm not much help there! (I'll have a look later on as well)

Thanks Nige.

They sometimes move into potato crops later into the year but typically they prefer dense cereal crops especially barley. They can also be found in ryegrass and clover beds, peas and lucerne. These crops are especially favored whilst they are still quite green and young but still tall. They avoid rape as they don't like spaced out (drilled) plants with large gaps between and lots of bare soil.

I would go back on either a dry still morning or a dry still evening, its best when the actual vegetation is quite dry as they tend not to move around much when its soaking. Look for slopes, mounds etc in the centre of these fields away from large hedgerows and woodland. Its these areas they tend to call from and often nest near. Also I would do it as soon as possible as the bulk of them will start to migrate next month.

I always think it sounds more like "Kiss Me Quick!"
