Hi vogel - don't worry, we welcome all sorts

In actual fact I'm amazed by the number of members with expertise in birds from throughout Europe. I think you'll find a lot of like-minded people here on WAB. Hope you enjoy the site and have a lot of fun.

Hi Vogel

Welcome to WAB.

I am not fluent in Dutch

but when I saw your user name I had a recollection that it was Dutch for bird. I am glad you confirmed!

Enjoy the website.
