Today marks the tenth anniversary of the Ceredigion Birds blog and I would like to offer many thanks to all our contributors and readers during this time.
Main thanks of course go to Bob Relph, who had the original idea and Richard Crossen, who actually did the technical stuff to get the blog up and running. Being a complete duffer when it comes to computers, I've had cause to thank Richard for his help on numerous occasions since I took over.
Apart from starting it, Bob of course ran the blog for years, guiding it along with a deft editorial hand.
Eventually, Bob asked me to take over with the words " I thought it was time to hand over to an older man"
I love to look through the archive: for instance if I plan to go out birding I look to see what was noted in previous years at that time. It's also a real pleasure to read contributors' accounts of enjoyable days in the field.
Enough of this waffle. To all our contributors, please keep your sightings coming and to everybody, please keep reading the blog.
Finally, I wish you all enjoyable and successful birding in 2019, with lifers all round.
