Hello Caroline, welcome to the Forum. Which College did you go to? I did Countryside Management and Conservation and Land Management at College. Then went on to work for Natural England for a while. Great while it lasted but no money in those sorts of jobs, so i got out! Still do a little wildlife work though and lots of Birdwatching! Hope you enjoy yourself on here. Oh and i had an Osprey on my local patch this morning!

Hello deergirl, you must come to visit the US so that you can check out the moose, elk, white-tailed, and mule deer here.

We have several osprey nests in my local area (Puget Sound, Washington State), and it is always glorious to hear them calling--especially when one knows that it's the chicks calling!
