Hello From Tony B

[Tony B]

I've just opened this new forum category to enable all members to say hello and tell everyone a bit about themselves. To start the ball rolling here's a bit about me.

I'm the brother of (Rob Brown who is the artistic genius behind Avesovum's eggs).

I'm also responsible for the creation of the new Avesovum website which I administer and update on a regular basis.

Although Avesovum has been established for a number of years now, the new website & forum are still in there infancy so you can expect a lot of exciting content to come.

There are a few reasons why Rob and I have started this forum:

Firstly, We felt that during the last few decades, younger generations have been losing touch with their natural environment. Many young people are unable to confidently identify wildife such as, birds, trees, insects, mammals etc - and I admit that I had to include myself in that group.

Secondly, We wanted to create a forum where everyone can find a variety of information about British wildlife, without having to be restricted to single specialist subject or a geographically limited area. A place where they can find information about bird's and there egg's to butterflies, alongside fungi and sharks in Scotland.

Lastly, We wanted to create a place that belongs to everyone involved. We want the Avesovum Forum to be built on a community of wildlife lovers. Any ideas and suggestions of the forum members, to help build this site will be very much welcome.

We hope you enjoy our new forum.

We're also very keen to welcome new visitors and no question should be considered too embarassing, basic or obvious to ask. Feel free to start your own threads on any subject related to British wildlife, or start a new thread here to introduce yourself.

Cheers

Tony B
