The Last Post!!!

 You are reading this final post under the heading "Bird Man of Allestree" because you are on an automatic notification e-mail system each time I add a new post on that blog.

I had told you things are changing, and although I tried to tweak the existing blog to dedicate it to leg news despite Julian's sterling help, the new version was tatty and confusing, and not up to the standard I felt Legs should get!!

Again with Julian's help, we have created a new blog to be called "The Derby Microtibialist", and that is in place now.  The 4 posts that I had created on the old bird blog I have already transferred to the new leg blog, and you will have read them. However, I have also issued, yesterday, No 5 on the legs blog, which you will not yet have read..

This message is the last post on the birds blog and all future posts will be on the leg blog and about legs only. 

If you wish to enjoy my new legs blog, you have 2 choices.

    1. You can log into the new blog at "Alleslegtree.blogspot.com" whenever you feel inclined.

    2.  You can go into the new blog and register for an e-mail notification each time I put up a new post. 

    3.  You can also add any comments you wish to make, at the end of any post.

If you want to be sure you don't miss any news posts you will have to do option 2, but you can deregister any time if you wish to stop that service.

I will shortly be deleting the most recent 4 leg posts that I put on the birding blog.

I hope this clarifies matters OK, and I hope if you are interested you will follow my leg mania!! I have already had one comment on the leg blog, and always welcome any comments with news, ideas, thoughts or observations. 

Incidentally the system is such that I am not able to identify the identity of any readers, followers or those making comments, except in the case of the last only IF they declare a recognisable name!!

It is a unique hobby and I welcome any information about similar collectors, if in fact they exist!!

Just for clarity, the blog address is   Alleslegtree.blogspot.com.    The old one was Allesbirdtree.blogspot.com.   Subtle difference , eh?

Thank you for following the birds.... I hope you follow the legs!!

From Birds to Legs... life moves on

 

Last May, 2020 I put my final entry on “The Bird Man of Allestree” blog (Allestree.blogspot.com) after 4 and a half years. I did not close it down, just in case, but I have now decided that apart from the fact that most of the posts are well out of date, I want to move on.    

So I have decided to retitle the blog “The Microtibialist of Derby”, and I plan to use the new blog (name) for a periodic post about different aspects of my leg collection. Those of you who were with me before will I’m sure recall that the birding news sometimes included references to my leg collection, but it is not intended that the new title will include birds!!.  If you did not cancel the automated mail from my blog to your computer then you will receive this communication explaining these planned changes. If you do not want to receive future blog postings on the new subject, there is a facility on the blog site or at the end of this post, to cancel future news.

I have never had any definitive information about people who read my blog, and only if a reader put a comment on the blog, or told me in some other way did I know them.     I did get statistics about the number of hits, with world numbers, but no names!! So any previous followers who are now leaving me….. goodbye!!

I do get irritated when I surf a subject to find that the sites I find are historic or discontinued, so it is my intention to take down my 200 old posts which are now historic …. In due course!!

The word Microtibialist is my creation and therefore not well known, if atall.  I have no idea how many people, if any, will be interested in the subject of my small-leg collection, but I will do whatever I can to publicise and promote the new name. My plan is to probably do one post a month, c 700 words, with photographs. 

I will have to use my son in law’s computer skills to make sure that I move to a new name and contact that works OK. So bare with me in the interim.. things may hiccup.

                       

These are a couple of examples of legs that I will be writing about, to wet your appetite.
