James60059's Gallery and Blog 2018.

[james60059]

Hi Folks, rather than do individual posts on site updates, I'll re-use this thread to keep all my updates in one place for the year.

I've not added any photographs as yet to my site but will do shortly, also I have started to utilise the Blog feature more that comes with Zenfolio, which I'll mainly be using for Trip Reports, as well as a Sightings Log. I've already added an entry for a brief interlude at Nuneaton yesterday, if anyone wishes to read it, it can be found here: http://jamespower.zenfolio.com/blog/2018/1/nuneaton-trip---03/01/18

Cheers,

James
