Finally did it. I used the visible dust swabs and fluid recommended by Chris at SRS. The first bottle of fluid was confiscated at the airport as it wasn't in a clear plastic bag (eh??) so I had another sent by post to France.
Quite a nervewracking experience but the Dutch courage helped. It took a few goes to get the swipe right and there remain a few stubborn marks, but they won't be a problem at normal shooting apertures. I found that you have to use fairly firm pressure otherwise it goes a bit smeary, although the sensor was pretty mucky to start off with. The fluid was very effective as I'm sure this was muck rather than just dust. I hope that I don't have to do it too often though. At f32:

Just don't overdo it like I did...
That is liquid behind the low pass. There is a gap, not directly bonded which could be part of the reason why the K10D is a PF monster with fast lenses.

The first is 'defo' not a Harris - it is actually a Striated Caracara

and the second - is a Harris - just called his owner to make sure I was not going mad.
Not easy identifying our feathered friends is it
