Ayup!

Hello everone! Another new member here to introduce himself.

I'm in my mid-forties and live in West Yorkshire and have recently started making some attempts at wildlife photography. Well actually all I've done so far is take pictures of varius insects with a macro lens which I bought in the summer. I'll upload a few of them in the near future.

I intend to purchase a long zoom lens in the near future so that I can make an attempt at bird photography.

Regards.

Nothing better than a few insects - well done; looking forward to seeing them son. Greetings from South Yorks.
