Hi

Hi, I'm Carl and I'm an alcoholic....Oops wrong site!

I'm from Stoke on Trent, and along with Amber, my partner, love to see some of the best wildlife Britain has to offer.

Despite being in the heart of town, 5 minutes away from my house, the River Trent runs between the A500 and an industrial estate, yet still houses a pair of kingfishers (male and female), visiting herons, kestrels and long tailed tits to name but a few.

Will hope to post some of my modest attempts at photographing the local wildlife!

Re: Hi

An alcoholic and a camera. Should make for some interesting shots.

Seriously though, a warm welcome to WAB from me. I look forward to looking at those images of yours.
