Hi all! I suppose i should've introduced myself yesterday when i joined this great looking site..sorry. So anyway, i'm Mick, a 40y'r old (& feeling every bit of it!) amateur herpo' of far north oxfordshire. I don't profess to be any more than that..an amateur, i just love having a good ol' mooch about for herptiles, & i'm also in to grasshoppers, crickets (orthopterans) & most other native & european wildlife too, but primarily herptiles & orthoptera. For years i've kept diary records of my wildlife sightings & i've always eventually sent any important records on to the oxfordshire biological records centre (now TVERC), or the national bio' records centre. If i feel the need to inform a council, or a land owner of an important species in their back yard, then i'll do that, & i've helped with reintroducing viviparous lizards to a depletion rectified site before (donated 100 young..though i no longer breed vivip's), so.. i suppose i do my little bit by way of conservation. Generally however, i just mooch, record, watch, sometimes film, & enjoy! I prefer to stick with hardy, native & european species, especially ones here in my own back yard of oxfordshire, so a site like RAUK is brilliant! Further afield exotic stuff's all great, but that lot's got more than enough coverage, & oh, so often our own neck of the woods has hardly had a look in! So, RAUK's right up my street! Oh yeh,..& i've been a member of ASRA & the BHS before. Only recently discovered RAUK as i've only been on the net about 10months. Better late than never though! Anyway, that'll do me, i'll stop waffling, & as you can see i'm too thick to paragraph!....So, yeh, hi all!...i'm Mick. Nice to make your acquaintance.

Hi Mick, I'm new here too. I like the way the herp forums move along nice and slow and deliberately, like our favourite creatures. Unlike the  other forums I've joined, e.g., photographic, cars, here I get a chance to read all the new posts before they're consigned to the archives. My kind of place!

Hi Mick,

Should have given the formal RAUK admin welcome before but this is my busy busy time of year so can only pop on and off now and then.

Teresa,

I've gone to great lengths to ensure threads on RAUK are never archived, they will I hope remain forever as many of the best like the 'early adders sightings' are rejuvinated each year. I think I'm right in saying the only threads removed from the forum contained David Birds exhaustive literature lists, these will return in the winter months in an easy to search html format on the site.

So welcome all

Gemma - or someone else in authority - you can dispense with this thread now, if that's okay, or you want. Thanks.

Mick.
