I am!
Thanks for all the positive comments. I really thought that when I set up BA
Facebook group that it would mean the end of the mailing list. But news of our
demise has been greatly exaggerated! Great to see that this forum still has
currency for many people - and I intend to keep it going while ever that is the
case.
Work has kept me away from just about everything to do with birding for some
months but it's always good to catch up on discussions - and I hope to be
birdier in 2061 :-)
I must thank Bill and Peter for carrying almost all the workload of birding-aus
over the last few years, and particularly in 2015. Out of the team of
moderators, they are really the ones to whom we owe the continuing existence of
birding-aus.
So a belated happy New Year to everyone. I hope this will be a good year for
you all in every aspect.
Cheers
Russell
