On my way home from delivering some work to one of our colonels, I spotted some bee-eaters feeding over the reed beds. Fortunately I had my camera with me and managed to get these shots.

I bought mine with 2gbyte on board, I thought the graphics would need it. Have you upgraded your NX yet? I've been trying to do mine for the past two days at the Internet Café's but the connections have been too slow. I have an HSDPA modem but it does not work with a Mac. To use it I have to run Parallels but with this I can only connect to the Internet through Windows. It's a bit frustrating as at the moment there does not seem to be any other option.

Yes I think 1.3.2 is the latest update. Do you have the Nikon Message Centre installed? If so it may be worth checking for upgrades next time you use NX.
