Aye Aye Folks !
What a breath of fresh air to find a site so friendly and welcoming to birders of any level.......the net has waited a long time for something this.......well.......I suppose tolerant !!
Well thats the rant (first and final one!!) over with, let me introduce myself......................
I have been birding since I was a 10 year old 'wee loony' in Aberdeen, but have carried on the obsession for the last 20 years whilst living in Holland, London and now Derby working in the Airline Industry.
My best birding moment has to be as a 13 yr old at my first ever seawatch at Colleston just outside Aberdeen, we got Arctic, Pomeraine, Great, and Lond Tailed Skua all within a 30 minute period, extremely close up, and from there on it was a seawatchers life for me !!!
I still go seawatching, but am more of a patch birder at Attenborough NR in Notts as it is close to work, but am always looking to hook up with birders of any level for Seawatching marathons that normally end up in local watering establishments !
We have just moved to Derby, so am interested in any clubs that exist up here, or better still folks that just like a good day's birding without getting too technical.
Thats all from me
