Many thanks to Ian for this site....it's opened up a whole new world for me that was closed as l was growing up and all thru' my 20's etc...l've seen some amazing birds,visited places l never knew about (lots are local) and found some truly great friends that share their knowledge and time with me,you ALL know who you are.l also have enjoyed reading all the posts and look forward to the ones in the future
Best wishes n thanks again X

Sorry ian I was of course refering to the date when you first came up with the idea

That and the fact that the 1+1 key does not seem to be working on my keyboard

In fact the website has a Birthday Sept 14th and the forum has a birthday in October,

should we not have standard one date to fit all

Happy second birthday to all GM birders twitchers as well.


Keep birding.

The website will of course be 2 years old very soon (and not 3 )

I do believe we have a Birthday this weekend, the WEBSITE will be 3 how time flies,

Lets see what we can find this weekend, and all hail to Mr Mckerchar

cheers for an excellent idea.


keep birding

Have to agree with everyone else an excellent site, should make you feel proud of yourself ian, and after you have got the first round i,ll get the second.
pleasure to meet birders in field who are willing to share local knowledge, lets keep it up and get everyone out there birding.
looking forward to meeting more of you over the coming years.
