I had a chance meeting with a local guy whose young son had a passion for bird watching.
I really enjoyed their company and mentioned them on my blog that day.Haydn's Pool November
Bald bloke at Haydn's Pool... it was a quick visit on Sunday.
I had only been there for a few minutes when guess who turned up... the young lad and his dad.
His name is Findlay and his enthusiasm was still infectious... lovely to see.

We shared viewing this Reed Warbler together.
This morning I received an e-mail from Findlay... he has started his own birding blog.

Findlays surname is Wilde... his blog is called Wilde About Birds... it couldn't be anything else.
A link to it here:
This is my post for this weeks World Bird Wednesday... it would be nice if you could visit Findlays blog and comment to give him some encouragement... little guys like him are our wildlife's future.

Wonderful shots, Andrew, and how nice you've made new friends! Thanks for the link - I'll go take a look now!
he's an adorable young fellow. :)
such a delightful post and I loved teh warbler photographs and your inclusion of Findlay also. Will go visit his blog and leave a comment; yes we certainly need to encourage youngsters like him every bit we can.
I love meeting up with new blogger friends. Very interesting bird you have there. Even better is that birding is shared with the younger generations:)
Great to see a new birder in the making!
Nice one Andrew. :-)
Cute guy. Hopefully his interest in birds will balance his interest in birds.
Great Reed Warbler pics Andrew.
It's good to see that at least one of our younger generation is taking an interest and with his father's and your encouragement I'm sure he'll stick with it. Our nature needs the younger generation they're it's future guardians...[;o)

Nice Reed Warbler, and the bald man and Finlay.
A great WBW post, - lovely to see!
Always nice to meet a new and young birder. Great shots of the Reed Warbler.
how nice. :) Both bird and boy. I hope he will have a greattime with birding.
Great photos of the birds and so good to see a younger birder!
It's such a beautiful pond and you are a great birding and blogging mentor! I'll go look. You are right, we need to get kids enthusiastic about birding and wildlife.
I come from a family of freckle faced redheads, Findlay would fit right in! I will look forward to reading about what he sees and thinks. Yay you, for encouraging.
What a wonderful post with wonderful shots! I'm off to visit Findlay!
Great story I will be sure to drop by his blog.
Great pictures you show. Hanne Bente
Hi, again...GOOD MORNING!
I have got something to tell you:
Today it is my 25st weeding anniversary!-...I Praise the LORD...
We have gone through so much...BUT WE ARE still here...with so much love...
His cancer seams to be gone...and he is here with me. We do not have children...I could not get pregnant...so we live to each other...laughing...crying...being silly...and being in love...
I praise the LORD for He is LOVE...and I'm so glad that I can't help spreading the news...
God Bless you and your family Drew!

Beautiful Andrew, you had a nice visit.
The foilage cover for the birds may have made it difficult, but you managed some great shots Andrew!!
Thanks for the link to Findlays blog... I'm on my way over there now!! :)
Findlay is fortunate to have been introduced to nature so young! I bet he'll be a life-long birder!
Good capture!
Neat bird, and great to hear that you inspired a new birder blogger!
Lovely shots of a lovely little bird.
Great shots ... beautiful bird, new to me.
Lovely photos Andrew, and little Findlay is a awesome kid! I will go over to see him!
First off Findlay is adorable, and secondly the little bird captures are just the sweetest~
