HiYa !

Hi all

Just thought I'd pop my head in and say a big "hello" to everyone.
I live in SW Scotland (Ayrshire), and although I love wildlife, it's only been in the
last year that I've really started to take any real notice of what's around me.
I find myself staring out the window for ages, watching the birds feed from the feeders,
trying to see a bird that I saw in the winter but didn't recognise (yellow with a "mohican").
Not much of a description, but it was just a few fleeting glances before the pair flew away.

I'm also planning to turn the garden into a wildlife garden (if the Wife will agree), so I'll probably be picking everyone's brains for help

Anyhows, off to watch the birds....

Hi Graham, watching the birds feeding can be so addictive, and I find I'm frightened to move away from the window in case I miss something. Even ironing is more pleasant now I set ithe board up so I can watch the birds. You will be able to turn you garden into a wildlife friendly garden with out it turning into a jungle - tell your wife not to worry and you'll both reap the rewards when it all comes to life. Good luck with that project. I did it four years ago and it changed my life, I made a website about it, I also discovered WAB looking for ID's. Enjoy the site and I love your User name .

Hello Graham, welcome to WAB. Wildlife is so addictive. When I'm out and about I'm constantly on the lookout, usually with my head pointing at the sky . I'm sure you'll fit right in and I'm looking forward to reading your posts and if you send up some pics that'll be great too.

My head is in that position permanently I think, due to years of stargazing, another
pasttime, albeit a very expensive one....
