Hello hello hello

Hey

This is my first posting, i have visited the site several times since finding it whilst wildlife surfing at work in a quiet moment. It was amazing to find, i loved reading the threads, so much of interest and a huge ammount of knowledge!

Well it is now the day after new year, having a lazy one after a mad highland hogmannay and new year, and finally joined. I live in the north west Highlands in Scotland, and work three days a week as an Estate Conservation Officer with a large conservation charity and two days as a gardener in a private garden. In my first job i am involved in carrying out various surveys, butterflies, moths, woodlands croftlands, inverts, i am involved in controlling invasive species particularly Japanese knotweed and Rhododendron ponticum and through my work have found an unexpected passion for dragonflies. My second job is on the very edge of my patch and allows me to be out and recording for the rest of the week!

I have just become a local dragonfly recorder for this area which is a great motivation for getting my ass to some fantastic places to go dragon hunting next summer, i suspect the inverts forum will help with other insect i.d. at the same time. I am just looking forward to this so much

Here goes
