| | | Hello from the BFG
Hello Everyone,
I've just found this site and registered and thought I would introduce myself.
I've been interested in Natural History for as long as I can remember (my Grandfather's influence!), particularly birds. I currently live on the London/Surrey border, having moved from Central Suffolk.
I'm a bird-ringer (C-permit) and ring mostly on our allotment just over the road, aiming mostly for Goldfinches, but inevitably catching mostly Blue Tits!
I'm now 41, and fed up with being a nurse, so I'm packing that in, and 20 years after graduating from Hull University with a degree in Accountancy (Yawwwwwnnnnnnn!) I am going to be returning to University in the Autumn (all those 18 year olds, scarey!).
BFG. |

Hi there BFG
Welcome from me too!
You're very brave going back to university, good on you ...what are you going to study this time?
Oh by the way, are you a Big Friendly Giant or does it stand for something else? 
Anyway, whatever it is get searching the forums and enjoy yourself here! |

Hi,
Yes BFG is Big Friendly Giant.
I'm going back to University to study Conservation Biology at Roehampton University. The staff are friendly, the students are obviously happy and I am sure I will enjoy the course. They have a wonderful campus, plenty of birds, including Ring-necked Parakeets. Can't be bad.
