Hello

Hi

Just saying Hello as I joined this morning after seeing a Convolvulous Hawkmoth outside the house last night (what a beauty)!!

I live in Cumbria near the Solway Coast and have a very keen interest in wildlife.

I am lucky were I live as the wildlife is always changing (especially the birdlife) saw some of my first overwintering species of Geese on Tuesday as well as some Fieldfares..which seems strange as we still have Swallows and a few Warblers hanging around.

Anyway the site looks fantastic so will get down to reading some more.

Bye
Coldun

Hey, Coldun, a Harty welcome to WAB. Fieldfares, umm, could we be in for a Winter, for a change? I hope so. Like it when it's crisp & even.

Re: Hello

HI

Thanks for the welcome.

I am very lucky where I live not just for the wildlife..but this is a very small village (well Hamlet really) of about 8 houses..and over the years we have managed to plant more trees (we planted over 500 7 seven years ago) the bird life has really altered and we get many more species. We have a small village pond..it really is just a lovely place to watch and observe nature.

Being so near to the Coast we do not get many hard Winters..

At the moment there are some 40+ long tailed tits in the garden (not much to write home about on their own) but with so many - their tinkling call is magical - not to mention their acrobatic skills.

The site is very informative ..I have made a large mug of tea and really enjoying reading other members postings..the photos are also excellent.

Thanks
Coleen
