New to this site

Hi all, New to this site. I used to volunteer as a ranger at weekends but work commitments have got in the way and so my weekends are taken up with work. I enjoy a good walk around Fairburn although I spend most of my time around the Lin Dyke area. I'm enjoying this time of year as I can get to walk around in daylight after I've finished work. I recently enjoyed an evening at Lin Dyke where I saw a Spotted Flycatcher and a male Garganey. Not seen either on the reserve before. No one else was around so couldn't share these birds with anyone.

Hi Gary, welcome to Communities! I do hope you enjoy your time on here. Its a great place to ask questions, share stories and photos and learn loads! If you have any photos from Lin Dyke, we'd love to see them.

Hi Gary and welcome to the forum from me in Lancashire.

There are always plenty of interested people in this Community to share your walks with. We'd love to hear about them, and see photos if you have any - good ones, bad ones, or anywhere in between, it matters not one here.

On the main Community page at the top of the list of latest posts you will find a forum map. You can use this to find your way round all the different forums.

Hi Gary and welcome from me in Berkshire.

I'm impressed you found the right forum for your first posting. Not easy for newcomers to navigate this forum but Sparrow has pointed you in the right direction.

Look forward to hearing about your wildlife experiences and of course photos are always welcome.

Welcome from Shropshire too!

Welcome from Manchester, although I do tend to venture across the border into Yorkshire - and especially Fairburn - regularly. Hope to see some more reports and piccies from your trips to Fairburn soon.
