I have just found this brilliant web site and would like to introduce myself as a new member.
I can't remember a time in my life when I did not have a passion for all creatures, great and small and about 5 years ago I started out in photography.
Attracting a wide variety of birds into my garden has become a costly but worthwhile affair and I'm sure that other forum members will agree that it's simply wonderful when your garden is visited by a wild bird that you have never seen before.
It's amazing how a passion can overcome natural fears. I would never have believed that a person such as myself with a dreadful fear of heights could climb up a mountainside in Scotland to photograph Puffins.
Anyway, hello to all of you and I look forward to being a part of this great site.

Hello Denise,

On behalf of Admin and the Moderators, welcome to Bird Forum :t:

I'm glad that you like the site. We have a great bunch of very friendly members only too willing to help out and share their experiences. We have wide ranging discussion forums on every aspect of bird watching and a couple of world class galleries. A gallery of world species, all submitted by memebrs is currently under construction. The site is constantly evolving with new features being added. A Bird Forum shop should be up and running soon.

Hopefully you will find plenty of things to interest you. If you have any queries then either post a question on the Members Noticeboard where everyone may benefit from the query or contact one of the Moderators.

Above all, enjoy the site.
