Hello everyone,

I'm new to the site, and very pleased to be here. I've been reading the diffierent forums over the last few weeks and thought it would be good to join - it looks like a great site, very informative and friendly.

I live in the mid Pennines in a beautiful spot, and I'm lucky enough to have some lovely wildlife on my doorstep - little owls, hares, lapwings and curlews in the surrounding fields, deer and woodpeckers in the nearby woods.

I'm off to the isle of Islay in two weeks for a wildlife - focussed holiday, and I can't wait. Anyone been there?

I hope to build my personal page before long so I'll put a bit more about myself on there.

Look forward to chatting with you in the forums,

Emma

Hello Emma, if you have been hanging round the forum for a while there is no need to tell you how good it is here. Have a great trip to Islay, I hope you manage plenty of photo's to share with us, I have never been so it will be nice to be able to see it through your images.
Welcome to WAB and have fun here.

Hi Emma

Welcome to WAB.

You live in a beautiful part of the country. I usually have a visit to the Pennines/Yorkshire Dales National Park each spring.

Islay? .... no, I have never been but it is on my "must do" list and the Springwatch coverage this year has got me thinking again! I may go up there in October/November when the winter geese are arriving. Enjoy your trip and let us know what you did and what you saw.
