Hi Guys

[galanthus]

Wow, I know I haven't been on for a little while but actually just had a reminder from mods so mayhap longer than I thought

Not been on much due to lots of pics/photoshop calendar preparation for gifts for family etc. Also lots of engagements such as a Madness gig - fab ! Oh and a War of the Worlds production with Jeff Wayne, fab again and highly recommended for those who actually still own the old vinyl album Been up to Essex to visit family, however, no time for wildlife watching apart from Fox and deer spotting from the train.

Getting used to my new premises in work in the middle of woods, so last few weeks have seen my first redpolls for a few years, goldcrests, treecreepers and nuthatches everyday and numerous tits, finches, thrushes. Have forced colleagues to hand over small amounts of cash to buy feeders, (squirrel proof), and bird nosh so will keep you posted on any interesting sightings, the place is a SSSI so something interesting should turn up. Oooh and will take pics where poss whilst avoiding end of career lol.

regards to all, will log on next few days and try to catch up with all the posts and threads I've missed.

Well, you've certainly been out and about ... like the rest of us, with too little time in this season of the year! Cheers.

Welcome back- you've seen some nice birds in the wood.

My sister went to see the nutty boys in concert the other night + enjoyed it too!

Have seen a few of your namesake flowering in last couple of weeks!

I'm pleased for you and that your liking your new location-can I be cheeky and ask what is that you do, are a ranger? Well what ever it is I consider you a very lucky Lily indeed!!!

[galanthus]

No not a ranger, I wish Just happen to be relocated there from our old place. It's a big old rambling house set within acres of ancient woodland. Hardly any conifers, mostly deciduous and all set on the side of a mountain. Will be interesting to see what turns up over the next year, am very excited and now keep my bins next to my pc lol.
