Hello everyone. I have just returned to birding after an absence of some 30 years. I used to birdwatch a lot in my teens and early twenties. However my career and family committments got in the way somewhat. On the plus side, now that I am older and the children have left the nest I am able to restart my hobby again. I am very pleased to have joined Birdforum and look forward to participating in posts in the near future.

Hi again Martin. Yes, due to the popularity of this site it attracts some unfortunate attention, so Admin had to apply some minor restrictions on New Members until they had 'proved' themselves to be genuine by having placed 10 forum posts (gallery comments do not count) AND have been a member of the site for 5 days. The following minor restrictions apply to new members who have not qualified with the above criteria:

Creating a Signature, Uploading an Avatar, Creating a Blog, Editing the Opus, Creating a 'For Sale' thread and Voting in polls.

The time will soon pass, I'm sure.
