| | New Member (Short Intro) Hello Everyone,
Just thought I'd introduce myself and say hello to everyone, My name is Stephen (Ste), I am 28 years old, I serve in the Royal Navy and live in Plymouth.
I have only just purchased my first DSLR camera (Canon 40D), at the moment I have the 17-85 IS, Canon 300 F4.0 IS & 1.4x tele-converter. I have wanted to get into (Bird)photography for a long time, and I'm glad I've finally committed myself and plunged myself into this great but very expensive past time.
WAB is a great source of Information and I've thoroughly enjoyed the hours I've spent browsing the threads and Gallery.
I am new to forums of any kind, but now I'm a member I look forward participating as much as I can (time permitting).
I consider myself fairly knowledgable about the Great Outdoors, Wildlife (Birds especially) etc, but lack the knowledge/expertise in SLR Photography, so I apologise in advance because I can imagine my initial posts will be seeking advice and picking peoples brains.
Hello again all,
Yours Aye Ste |

| | | Re: New Member (Short Intro) Hi Ste, Welcome to the site. Just joined myself couple of days ago and everyone seems so friendly and knowledgeable. How can I attract a variety of birds to my garden? Just moved to a new house recently - have a lovely big tree in the back garden which attracts magpies and pigeons but that's all I've seen.
Would bird boxes and tables help (and if so, is it possible to have them so they are safe from predators as I have a number of cats.) Would love to see robins, tits, etc. but obviously wouldn't want to attract them to their deaths.
I live in Swindon, Wiltshire, by the way, so not sure if there are a good variety of birds down this way.
Thanks, Snowhound |
