| | | Re: Matt-xyz's 3000th Matt, I echo the above sentiments. I have also benefited from your help and advice, and am striving to one day emulate the quality of your pictures.
What I don't understand is how one so young can have found the time to make so many posts. I shall have to be re-incarnated in my current state to stand a chance of catching you up.
Best

| | | Re: Matt-xyz's 3000th Well done indeed Matt.
Whenever I log onto WAB I always know that Matt will either ... be on already ... just logged off after at least 4 hours OR just about to log on
Always there to help out if needed ... and occasionally  ... well quite frequently actually he shares some excellent images with us
Keep up the brilliant work ... WAB's proud of you!

It's been a pleasure being a part of WAB and I've learnt so much about wildlife. Well done to Stu and the team for setting up WAB in the first place. I've really enjoyed helping out behind the scenes.
Colin, I also wonder how I've fitted in 3000 posts. Imagine all that work, gardening, DIY etc I could have fitted in if it weren't for WAB  Long live WAB I say

| | | Re: Matt-xyz's 3000th Just like to add my few words.
Matt has always been available to help out with advice whenever needed. Not long after I joined WAB Matt put me on the right track as far as image editing and software was concerned. A top guy, a great photographer a great asset to WAB. Well done Matt and I look forward to seeing many more of your posts.

A top poster, photographer and contributor to the WAB cause.
It's just a shame you let the side down by supporting Birmingham City  .... only joking after your kind words about the new Premiership Champions!
Keep it up .... WAB I mean, not the footie  .
