Hey matey,
I totally understand your frustration and your feeling of being out there "all alone"...trust me...im 35 next month and most wildlifey things i get involved with i feel like the wee baby....its definately a silver haired majority in this wildlife world...BUT there ARE youngsters out there trust me...(i was one once).
ID's are frustrating....im normally way off (although i have had a good run of them on here these last few weeks proving that WAB (probably more so than my degree and questionable college/tutors) has taught me loads over the last couple of years.
Smashing up a tit box?...why oh why?...dog poo everywhere...tied to trees in bags....throwing stones at geese....killing fox on a cattle farm, these are just a tiny amount of the stupidity that is out there, being a wildlife/naturalist its hard to bite your lip, to be honest in this violent age we are going through i tend to do just that, but i can understand you for having a rant at people, just be very careful as we would like to have you around on wab a bit longer so we can all watch you learn and improve and get some of those insect id's right ( of which im rubbish unless its pretty and has butterfly wings)
Cheer up mate....
oh and NOTHING wrong with having a rant and letting off steam on here in my book...we are probably a motley crew of strange and normal, old and young...ugly and of course speaking for myself ...extremely good looking
(and cocky...cheeky...funny...irritating....blah blah blah) but we are all linked (scarily) in some way and are one big ole family.
Oh and the sexy 20's/30's naturlist/ecologist/walking camping/wildlife loving pretty, sexy girls into all this stuff only exist on tv land....im sure of it?...but if you happen to find one (or two preferably) pass one onto me wont you?...
Dan 'your friendly shrink'.
