| | | 1000 Up for John Doherty
When I first joined WAB I never thought that I would ever have posted so many photos either for ID in the forums or for publication in the various WAB galleries. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those WAB members who have posted some very kind remarks about my photographs. More importantly I owe a great debt of gratitude to all those who have helped in providing so many invaluable IDs. You have all greatly contributed to my increasing knowledge of nature in Great Britain and Ireland and for this I am extremely indebted.
I hope that my photos will continue to provide some enjoyment and that you will all continue to help with so many pics for which I still need an ID.
Thanks to all at WAB.

Well done john. Your photo's are of the best quality, some amazing shots, wish i could get shots like that. In the dark cold days of winter you keep the insect forum interesting and contribute some great posts. Keep up the good work and soon im sure you will reach 2000.
Cheers DH

A cracking photographer and a gentleman as well. I have had the pleasure of meeting John in person and he is every bit as nice a person in the flesh as he is on the forums.
Well done John keep those great shots of yours coming

Hiya John, just want to add my congrats to this thread. Some great work! I hope you get out to the coast to capture some of what the winter storms wash ashore. Be some good photo opportunities there I think. Have you thought of going out with the local RSPB when they go bird ringing? I have done that and occassionally they get a real gem in the mist-nets - like the sparrow hawk - a truely unforgettable eye for a close up lense!
I look forward to your next 1000 photos.
