And it's hello from me

[Diane]

I came to this site on recommendation from John.

I have been birdwatching for around 20 years, although I am by no means an expert, and enjoy all aspects of nature and the countryside.

I take photos of birds, and other subjects, using my Canon 10D, and sometimes get a good shot. I will try and upload some to the gallery soon.

I am married and live in a village near Barnsley in South Yorkshire, and work at an environmental consultancy in Sheffield where I am mainly office-based dealing with the contact database and computer systems. I also help organise and run various events with an environmental theme.

I will be in Norfolk this weekend, along with John and a few other people, so hope to get some good birding in and take some more photos.

Hi Diane

See you & Keith on Sunday. Have a safe journey down.

Interesting to read your 'Hello' and naturalist interests Diane. Thanks for your input to date - hope you've had a good time in Norfolk. I'm quite partial to Northreps, Cromer, Wells-Next-The-Sea etc. myself.

Thank you, Tinkerbell.

We did have a good weekend in Norfolk. John is still down there, probably finding lots of birds.

I love the north Norfolk coast, although we used to live down the east coast near Lowestoft. Holt is my favourite place, if only because they have a wonderful tearoom called The Owl, which of course we visited while we were there!
