Our modest member

Sometimes it takes someone else to blow someone else's trumpet. So I'm doing it for this young man.
With his permission, our very own Wolfhill (Fergus) has one of his brilliant pictures on the front cover of the Kent Wildlfe Trusts magazine.
What a great achievement for this young gentleman and I'm sure you'll all agree with me on this.
Well done Fergus. We're proud of you!

And here's Dangerous Dan in the same mag. Sorry about the quality-but you could all join KWT and get a picture of him to put a frame!


There you are Dan-we wouldn't leave you out!

Modesty, on WAB? That's a breakthrough! But a very nice picture - that can make it all worthwhile!

Well the picture was taken in my back garden here in Perthshire last winter, it was on this very site that a woman from the Kent Wildlife Trust saw the picture and sent me an e-mail asking if they could use it on their Christmas card and on the magazine cover. So it all started here on WAB
