Hello BPN,

I'm Chris and I live in a very small town in Yorkshire, England surrounded by rolling hills and woodland. It's been on my 'to do' list to join the forum for a while, so here I am.

I've been making photographs for over 30 years and as luck would have it the local nature reserve is virtually on my doorstep. The two were always meant to intertwine! I do like a wide variety of photographic genres but I do hold wildlife photography, birds in particular, close to my heart.

I'm looking forward to getting involved in the community, being inspired by the photographs from all of you, and of course sharing my own work. The attraction for me of a forum like this is that I'll get to see photographs of birds from all over the world made by people who are as passionate about doing so as I am.

I'm glad to be on board.

Chris
