What a fantastic website you have here - it's great!  I fear I may become addicted though.... 
We've recently moved here to the lovely Yorkshire Dales and I'm having a blast with all the new wildlife I'm encountering. I've bought myself a new camera and have been getting some super shots of all sorts to add to my personal wildlife album which I hope to share with you soon. Btw, can someone point me to instructions to upload pics? I can't seem to find it  I've recently had some of my pics published in the local village magazine and even made the front cover a couple of times - yeah!
I've been a wildlife watcher since I was little and having now moved here I'm in heaven lol! Hedgehogs are my fave animals and I've rescued a fair few over the years. I regularily feed the ones that visit my garden and I've even got one asleep in my hedgie box today!
Looking forward to getting on the boards and joining in
So a big Hi from me! |

Hi Cazzie,
A warm welcome to WAB, yes this is a fantastic site, as you have guessed very addictive - I should be working on some photos but just had to look in, another hour gone but not wasted I always find something of interest, see you on the forum and looking forward to your posts and photos.
Carol.

Hi Cazzie and a warm welcome from me. If you look near the top of the page on the right hand side you will see an icon that says "WILD ABOUT BRITAIN VIDEO GUIDES" You will find one that gives instuctions on how to do this.
Look forward to seeing more from you

Hi Cazzie
Welcome, and I'm looking forward to seeing your photos too. I just uploaded my first ones - well, I hope I did!
So your ironing went the same way as mine then? OK, I confess, I've not even emptied the washing machine since I found this WTB

Hi Cazzie, welcome from another newbie. I have to say I have a real soft spot for Hedgehogs too, though for the last 2 years I haven't seen any in my garden, which is unfortunate. I wish I knew why. With regards to the ironing, I am in the same boat! |

Thanks Clover Green and Jillw!!!!
Jillw - yep, I've been struggling to get any chores done today, infact I havent lol!
Clover Green - That's a shame you've got no visiting hedgies atm You've seen no black poops then? Can they actually get into your garden? Sounds a silly question I know, but sometimes new fencing etc. can obstruct them getting in. Are there any in your area that you know of? Have you tried putting some hedgie food out? |

Hi
I am a new member. I looked here to find out some info.
1 how do I get photos on, I read the answer just above, in this string.
2 please don't laugh but what do these abreviations mean "lol" and one you used just now "btw" I think it was?
3 there are lots of icons around that I don't know what they do/ mean (I know smilies)
4 what is the "comander" or "knight of the empire"
5 where do I find all these answers without feeling a complete idiot.
Thanks |

Thanks | 1. Have a look at the Video Guides http://www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk/wildlife/video_guides
2. 'lol' means 'laugh out loud' & 'btw' means 'by the way'
3. Don't know about all the icons myself!
4. These are related to the amount of posts you do, eg 0-24 New Member, 25-49 Active Member, 50-499 Member of the Wild Empire....etc. Just a bit of fun.
5. Right here. You should never feel a right idiot here. |

Thanks Richew - Yes indeedy, I'm addicted already!
Jay2 - It's taken me a while to get to grips, but hang in there you will!
Btw, maybe if you called the link 'Photo's/Video Guide', then maybe we wouldn't be confused?!? Just a thought |

Hi Cazzie! I've only been a member a couple of weeks and I'm already totally addicted with this forum! It's such a friendly place!
I also LOVE Hedgehogs and have a little family resident in the garden. See them most nights shuffling through the Ivy and eating the food I put out for the birds on the steps
