Default ahoyhoy from Berkshire! (ish)
hello all! just thought I'd drop a line to introduce myself. I live in south Oxfordshire, but my patch goes into Berkshire so i get some wetland birds as well! I'm a bit green when it comes to birdwatching; this is my first year counting! favourite bird? do you do that sort of thing? I hope so. internationally, African fish eagle and at home? the shoveler; they're brilliant!

Anyoos! nice to meet you all!
Chris

Welcome to the forum Chris. Shovellers need love too although I prefer Long Tailed Tits.

We are a friendly lot and if you ever mis-identify a Dunnock, expect some friendly ribbing.
