I'm a noob :)

Hi guys,
Joined a little while ago and have been reading mostly the Insect and Bird forums ever since.
Such a wealth of information here, I'm speechless!
I'm also realising just how much you all know ... and conversely... just how little *I* know. So please be patient with me, while I find my feet! (And some knowledge!)

You know... right off I really identified with some of you here, it's good to know that I'm not the only one going through life moving snails to safer places, rehoming spiders instead of hoovering them up, or helping lost wasps out of the house!

I love spiders, I have literally lots in every room of my house, mostly the cellar spider, Pholcus Phalangioides, I really respect them and actively encourage them.
I've a few Orb Weavers too and not too many house spiders.
But I'm very interested in Insects, too, and the regular garden birds.
Despite having 2 cats, I have a great number of birds visit my garden every day, so hopefully sometime soon I'll get around to posting some pics.

Re: I'm a noob :)

Hello Insomniac, I have seen you around for a while so it is nice you have decided to say hello.
I felt I knew abolutely nothing when I joined here as well - actually I didn't , but since joining, I have learned so much with the help from others and it is such a good feeling now when I can help someone else. You'll find your feet and I am sure you know more about spiders than me for starters . A belated welcome!

Re: I'm a noob :)

Hi to you all and the warm welcome is much appreciated.

Delighted to be here and you can expect lots of questions from me and hopefully a few half-decent pictures too.
Though looking at the quality of all of your photos, I should be dropping hints here for a new cam for Christmas, methinks!
