Hello all!

New to the forum, very keen bird photographer starting to spend more time just watching.
Based in Alcester UK and just about to push the button on my first serious scope, a Swarovski BTX I think, as my mini angled scope is not easy to use for a longish time.
Any local photogs/ watchers please feel free to get in touch.
Best
Kevin

Hi Julie
Well not sure I qualify for birding as yet, as have been focused on photography for many years - so just starting to look at the birds from another viewpoint!

I love birds in flight photography and also bird behaviour, so usually go to somewhere like WWT Slimbridge, WWT Washington, and have been to Feckenham Wild Marsh a few times. The former have lots of opportunities for birds in flight so thats the reason mostly!

But keen now to try elsewhere, see new species and Brandon is on my list as went there with my son a few times.

Thanks for the contact!

Hope you have a great time here

Thanks Julie!

Perhaps I will post in here when I am off to a few places and if folks are up for it we can say hello if its one of their regular haunts, although I just found there are regional forums on here too?

Anyway I will be easy to identify as I will be the one with the big lens and the (hopefully not too big) scope I’m going to see next week!

Thanks everyone for the many welcomes in such a short space of time!
