Just joined- hello!

Hello all.

This site looks right up my street. I like watching all British wildlife & am getting into photography.

I live in Barnsley S. Yorks but like to travel around the country S W Cornwall being my favourite place.

Will post some photos in the future.

Ta Mick

Re: Just joined- hello!

hi mick , welcome to WAB - I used to work on the lizard so I know just what you mean about down there, I might be organising a wab Meet down that way in May so you might want to keep an eye out for that

Hi Mick,

Hello! I haven't been to Barnsley for years. Is it good for wildlife?

Re: Just joined- hello!

Wow- so many replies thanks to all of you!

Xanado- Barnsley has a few decent places nearby for wildlife. Old Moor RSPB for example as well as a few Country Parks etc. The Pennine moors are only a short drive away- good place to see rare mountain hares.

I live near the town centre so don't see anything too remarkable on a daily basis- although I was watching a woodpecker (great spotted I think) drumming the other day where I walk my dog.

Cheers

Mick
