Hi everyone........ (1 Viewer)

[birdingalex]

Hello there, my name is Alex and im in sunny (at the moment) Devon. Im very new to birding (no! seriously) and have literally just had my first day out specifically to look for birds. Not terribly successfully as i left my bird guide behind but there were a few interesting things to see at a nearby lake and despite not having the correct lenses for wildlife photography i still managed to get a few nice pictures. I managed to borrow a decent pair of binoculars as ive yet to get my own so i will be looking for anyone with advice of where to start regarding that at some point (any help greatly appreciated)
Anyway thank you for having me. see you soon.
Alex.

Hi Alex and a warm welcome to you from all the Staff and Moderators. Well done getting yourself out on your first birdwatching trip.

For help with what binoculars to get you would need to ask in our Binocular Forum (scroll down the front page). They would need to know your budget and it's always helpful if you let them know the type of birdwatching that most interests you (sea and marsh watching is quite different to gardens and forests too).

I'm sure you will enjoy it here and I look forward to hearing your news.
