Unfortunately, I don't think there is a spellchecker on this site.
I tend to post, see my mistakes and then immediately re-edit it.
Of couse, you could type it in Word or some other WP package, spill chuck it and then cut and paste into here. There are freeware packages around that check your spelling as you are typing ( they run in the background ).
Else ignore the spelling mistakes, some always creep through, then some people on here take the micky in a nice gentle kind of way!.
Welcome to the forum by the way!.

Hi,Sarah,welcome to BF.please do not worry re your spelling mistakes.It seems to be an occupational hazard mis spelling words when one is typing.Everyone is really friendly on this site.There are few" Smart Alecs",who give out "wind ups"in the nicest possible way,but is is all good fun.Do not be nervous about asking what may seem silly questions,everyone will help and you will learn a great deal.I must warn you though,this site is very addictive.
Cheers Christine.

Welcome Sarah from all the Moderators and Admin here at Bird Forum. It does seem a bit daunting in the beginning but you will be flying around here in no time. Honest 
I love the waders myself and spent a lot of my free time at the Swashes around here. There are plenty of members here at your beck and call for any I.D. help you might need.
Sorry, no spell check and I wish we did have it.

'Wind ups'?! Must I re-publish my thesis on Clarity and Communication for your edification?

Thanks 4 all the encouraging messages. I had thought this would be addictive, but luckily for my pc time it is taking a while to get into. Your support is appreciated all. We are not down the road though from Gloucester as this is a huge county! Rather disapoineed that all the sightimgs on Birdguides seems to be from down Gloucester way and miles from us. Went to Kent two week ends ago, had a first visit to Oare Marshes.
