Carpe Deum
That's great to hear. There's so much wildlife on our doorsteps that is easy to overlook - though obviously we're pleased that you also visit us to spot an even wider variety of amazing species.
Welcome to the community Ruth. Many of us on here are (perhaps obviously) regularly at Minsmere, so doubtless you'll bump into us sometime :-)

Yes, that is true, I live in a mainly rural area and see lots of wildlife but it is nice to go to other places and Minsmere is special and well worth the couple of hours it takes to get there.
Yes, that would be nice,thank you for the welcome.
