| | | A Warm "Hello" To All Fellow Members
Hi,
I stumbled across WAB while searching Google to try and identify a newcomer to my garden. I didn't actually find it here, but the site looked interesting so I decided to join you all.
Oh, by the way, the bird I identified was a linnet, making a total of twenty different species to my garden, possibly more.
My husband cut down an old pear tree in our garden leaving appx five feet of stump standing which now has a larger than average bird table secured on top of it, (which he made). It's regularly visited by an abundance of bird's and our two resident squirrels, who appear quite happy to share .
Anyhow, enough about that, just wanted to introduce myself,  |

A warm welcome to WAB from me also.
You certainly have one over on me for a start. I have never seen an Linnet in any of our gardens.
As has been said, this is a very addictive site so it won't be long before you knock up your first 1,000 posts.
There are enough experts on here on a wide range of subjects from birds to fungi etc so ask away anything that you are not sure about.

Many thank's for your welcomes Guy's.
I'll pop in here as often as time allows, as you say, could easily become addictive. May be quite some time before I hit a thousand post's, we'll see. |

John | Hi FJ ... and thank you.
I actually scrutinised the stump recently following a visit from a Great Spotted Woodpecker,(of which I have a few pics). There wasn't anything visible to the naked eye but I have no doubt there will be some spores lurking in there somewhere, | | |
