Hi from Buckinghamshire
I must confess to having found this site some months ago but my lack of computer skills has been putting me off registering.

Anyhow, as WAB seems such a friendly place, I have overcome my fear of computers (well nearly) and here I am (I think).

Hi Ann

Welcome. I've found that not only are people a friendly bunch on this website but they're very knowledgeable as well.

Re: Hi from Buckinghamshire
Hello Ann, I'm glad you decided to join us here and say hello. I'm not so good with the computer myself it took a few months before I could work out hoe to shrink my photo's so I could upload them to WAB. But everyday I learn something new here and now and again can actually help! Hope you enjoy yourself , see you around

Re: Hi from Buckinghamshire
Hi Ann,

Welcome to WAB. I'm also from Bucks and reasonably new (if we're talking WAB) although other parts are definitely a bit older! I came over seeking asylum from the BBC wildlife forum because everyone here is really friendly and obviously fascinated by our fantastic wildlife regardless where we live, how old or young we are or how much each of us knows.

What do you think is the best thing about being in Bucks? - orchids, beech woodlands carpeted in bluebells, chalk streams / downland, the views from the Chiltern escarpment? there's so much to see - here's an impression of me every time a see a red kite

Cheers, Chris

Re: Hi from Buckinghamshire
Thank you all for such a warm welcome and I look forward to joining some of your conversations (although perhaps not those heated debates).

I might be asking for your advice then goosey (on shrinking photos) when I get settled in.

Re: Hi from Buckinghamshire
Blimey, I've only been here five minutes and my username appears to have been changed for me. Well it's certainly a great way to confuse this poor computer illiterate gal!

Re: Hi from Buckinghamshire
Hi,

I'm from just outside Aylesbury too. I don't know how well you know the local wildlife but I walked up over Grangelands at the weekend (near Chequers, between Wendover and Princes Risborough) and the cowslips were just starting to come up. In a few weeks the fields there will be an amazing sea of yellow and a bit closer to Aylesbury is Aston Clinton Rag Pits, which few people seem to visit but has a fantastic display of orchids in June / July | Berks, Bucks & Oxon Wildllife Trust |.

Welcome to WAB.

Chris

Re: Hi from Buckinghamshire
There seem to be quite a few of us in good old Buckinghamshire then - we'll have to arrange a local meeting.

Thank you for the local info Chris, I haven't heard of Grangelands.

Re: Hi from Buckinghamshire
Hi From Milton Keynes..!

My first post on my first day as a member of WAB.

Uploaded 2 pics for aproval so far. I love using Sepia on my Sony D32 camera and getting a nice victorian look to shots.

Looking forward to posting lots of pics. If you find one of mine, please comment on it.

Thanks

Re: Hi from Buckinghamshire
I was in north Bucks this week - struck by the number of Brimstone butterflies flying around! Welcome.
