hi from northern ireland! (1 Viewer)

i have been visiting the site as a guest for a couple of years now (generally when i should be working) and have just started surfing from the comfort of my own home - a good opportunity to become a member.
i have been interested in birds since i was very little (we had a big back garden and fields and the primary school art teacher encouraged me to draw our feathered friends.
i dont get out enough nowadays! but did enjoy a trip to keeble? reserve on rathlin island a few weeks back. the cute colours and features of the puffins even stirred some interest from my girlfriend!
Not sure i have seen too many posts from other northern irish residers on the forum (i'm interested in what birds are being seen where), but look forward to sending many more posts in the not so distant future.

Greetings and welcome, ampersand, from all of us on staff at Birdforum! We're delighted you've decided to join us.

I agree with you about not too many posts from Northern Ireland, but perhaps you'll get the ball rolling with yours.

We're looking forward to your contributions.

Hello &,
Welcome to Birdforum and glad you finally came in out of the dark. Looking forward to hearing more from you.

A big Hi!
I am looking forward to reading your reports from Northern Ireland. I met up with Lorna from our NI office at this year's Member's Weekend (RSPB that is) and she has really raised my interest in the region. I have standing invite to go and visit and I am hoping to take the offer up later in the year.
