Hello all, as the title says Im new to all this but Im completely hooked. I live in the Worsley area so have spent most of my time in Middlewood, Worsley Woods, Canal, Vickers Hall Lane, Pennington, Moses Gate and a few other places further afield. My wife and kids think Im having a midlife crisis! As I have bought binoculars, scope and a Canon camera with zoom. At the moment for me its a solitary existence although my wife does come on walks with me but this does have an effect on the spottingMy count so far this year is only 57 so I assume this is poor but this is from mid February when I started. Spotting birds is an art in itself but photographing them in this dim light we have in the UK is a nightmare. If anyone has the time and lives local to me and would like to help and advise in the field it would be most welcome. Many thanks.
