| |  Another newby!!
Hi everyone in WAB.
Just joined today after finding the forum through Google and discovering a lot of like minded people out there! I live in the Highlands of Scotland near Glencoe and have been here almost five years now after leaving the suburbs of Manchester (hence the 2004 after highlander). I have a general interest in all wildlife from fungi to birds and everyting in between and am lucky to have otters and eagles on my doorstep. I hope I can contribute to the forum with some of my experiences and if anyone wants any tips or advice on the local wildlife then I will be very glad to help.
Nick.  |

Hi Nick,
Although I joined the site a few months ago.. this is my first post
Sounds like you made a good move from the City out somewhere a bit special! Congratulations! I am actually heading up your way in September with my girlfriend. We are getting off at Corrour Station ion Rannoch Moor, and walking from there to Fort William (hopefully - though we need to get a bit fitter before we go!)
I don't suppose you have any suggestions for good places to go, or things to see interms of wildlife. I am hoping we will see a lot along the way.. but we could take a detour if there was anywhere in particular you knew of. We will also hopefull have a day spare once we reach Fort William, and were thnking of doing a boat trip from Oban to see some wildlife, but if you had any particular suggestions I would love to hear them...
By the way.. hi everyone... what a great site this is! And a big thanks to Captain .... (forgotten his name) who put upa great posty aboput the Findhorn Valley near Inverness. we went there in March and it was truly fantastic!
Cheers  |

Hi, also from Highlands-Black Isle near Inverness. I'm also new to forums. Wildlife is really good up here Red Kites are so common! No Magpies though.
Have fun be happy. |

Hi Nick, welcome! Lucky you living near Glencoe, the scenery there is stunning Saemus (WAB member) lives in Ballachulish and Anita is in the Black isle - I am not a little bit jealous at all, I'm extremely jealous! You'll love this site, it's fascinating and everyone on it is so helpful, they're lovely folk! I'm from Fife by the way.
All the best Tracey

Hiya from me too!
I am way down in the south east of England but have visited your neck of the woods in the past and found it stunning!! 
I hope your stay here will be rewarding. They are a great bunch on here and you will learn SO much!! They are very friendly and helpful, you just have to ask a question to get so many answers!!!
Best wishes
