hello from manchester

just thought i'd stick me nose in and say hello.

i live just outside manchester and tend to range from parkgate one side to old moor the other and up to leighton moss on the other side regularly, i have been a casual birder for most of my life and am nearly 40 now, though this year i've been much more active with my birding.

Hi captaincarot and welcome on behalf of the Staff and Moderators

You've some great birding areas in your area - I love Leighton Moss and call in there occasionally on my trips to the south.
