Hi everyone, I am quite a few miles away from you I'm afraid but I look forward to chatting with you and sharing our interest in wild birds

Hi Babs, welcome to the forum, it matters not where you live, the only prerequisite for membership is an interest in birds.

For those who are unaware, Babs has a superb wildlfe photographic site called Focus and Click.

Happy snapping.
