Re: New Member and Feeling Lost

Hi and welcome to the forum, feel free to any questions. I'm shy and since I've joined this wonderful forum, things have improved.

Though my bird-watching is still on the ground and need to improve on that

Hi Merrow and welcome . No need to feel lost, everything is set out with Linnaean logic in sections and subsections, a near-perfect taxonomy

Re: New Member and Feeling Lost

Hey, It was feeling lost that got me to see my first California Quail, Callipepla californica introduced to Šumava in the Czech Rep in the 60's . I was wandering down route 1033 looking for St Tomas the village and stupidly followed the waysigns = LOST. I sat down to have a look at the map and this cute little bird wearing an Indian war feather came belting past, followed by a dozen more. I like lost !

Hello Merrow. I am new here also, and still trying to find my way around. What drew me to this site originally, was an interest in the seemingly elusive nightingale.

A hearty welcome to WAB. I'm an "Old" member, but still feel lost in the midst of the knowledge that abounds here.

Hey, Welcome to WAB Best to upload those photos into the "Image Library" under Forum Images. Goes in straight away and you can use it then! Hope you settle in soon,I'm sure you will!! And everyone gets confused with the Gallery when they first join, so don't feel useless!! x

Re: New Member and Feeling Lost

Oh I like this place already - thank you - will try and have a go at the Gallery thing tomorrow or on my days off from work...I'm determined to crack it.

Apologies for the two photos that I think are lost in cyber space somewhere....

Everyone has been so welcoming and friendly - thank you

Was I supposed to start a new thread then to introduce myself? I'd hate to overstep the mark just as I've joined by saying hello to New Member and Feeling Lost. There must be some etiquette here that I have to learn.
