Hi Geoff, what a great intro! Any problems finding your way around just shout and you'll have us all running to help If you get lost in your boat thats a different matter .
Keeping a wildlife diary is a great idea you'll be surprised what you find in your garden when you start to look, things that you never even knew existed!
I look forward to seeing some of your images when you suss it all out, welcome and enjoy the site .

Hi Geoff. Glad to hear there is someone else doing a diary of his garden. I've had my diary for the last 3 months, and I'm really enjoying it. It really gets you thinking about the wildlife around you.

Can't wait to see some of your pics. My husband used to be a commercial fisherman in Poole many years ago.... now he just fishes as a hobby... but I've spent many a day on a boat (fishing and spotting wildlife).

Welcome again!

Hi Geoff and welcome!

I am Very 'new' as well, living a mundane but hectic family life, here in Bristol.
Lovely to hear a little of your everyday life - I am a keen gardener and your end bit, about unidentified fly in your garden made we cringe, as I have had several dodgy encounters 'summer' 2007...

...I feel a post, or two, on the Insect forum coming on! This computer stuff IS hard to get used to - at least you can use a camera, I even have trouble with that!

Hope you enjoy WAB! Cathy

P.S. just found out how to do smilies so feeling rather clever now!!

Thanks for the friendly welcome. I have tried to include a photo of the unknown fly, which initially brought me here, on the Insect Forum but appear to have hit my first snag. Eventually got the image onto the Forum Gallery and wrote my question but don't seem to be able to copy the picture to the question.

I'm using Opera but when I right click on the image I don't get an option to select the image, so I tried using Select All from the Edit menu, also right clicking and copying and pasting without selecting, but without any success.

Can I use Opera here? Will have another go using Internet Explorer but have never got on with any of the Microsoft programmes.

I use Firefox (which is really good) and it works fine. Its a free download.

OK, think I may have sorted the problem. I wasn't clicking on the correct code at the bottom of the image. It has taken a lot of struggling but finally I have included my first photo into a question on the Insect Forum.

This has left me exhausted so I'm going for a beer now!
