Well done Steve, I have to thank you for kindling my interest in the Dragon and Damselflies and now I'm totally hooked. Many thanks for all your help and kind words of encouragement. A great guy, a great asset to WAB and a knowledge of the Dragons and Damsels second to none.

Thanks Guys, you are all very kind, I'm honoured to have such good company here on WAB, I have made many great friends as a result of being involved here, and look forward to making and meeting many more.
I make no appologies for infecting people with my passion for Odonata and insects in general, its all good fun.

Well done Steve,
A great moderator and photographer and your dragonfly knowledge is amazing. I'm sure that I will be paying a lot more attention to dragon and damselflies this summer than previously

Apologies for being late on this one Steve - a great Polish holiday and all that stuff!
It makes a change for me to be able to get a word in though 
Keep on posting mate, I'm learning a lot about the damsels and dragons this year thanks to you and MTR.
Guess you'll get a knighthood early next year at this rate?

Another late one here Steve. Like Oscar I have been away on a most enjoyable jolly but with me it was to Lesvos.
Congrats mate. One of the true gentlemen on the site and a member that is good company out in the field.
BTW what are your skills like on foreign Dragonflies etc as I have photos from Lesvos of a few.
