Welcome to my user page...

As I don't really know how to do anything other than just edit pages with words this will be quite boring to look at... The more i learn, the more magical this will become...

About myself

My name is Gareth Hiley, aka gazhiley, and I work for a bank in Swansea, South Wales. I mainly gravitate around the Featured Pictures pages, or the Miscilaneous and Entertainment Reference desk pages...

My Interests include Gaming (Consoles and PC), Music, football (watching and playing), and Driving. I am an iBore by admission!

I am a Swansea City fan, have been a season ticket holder for over 5 years now, and have attended more away games than I care to count!

Some time soon I also hope to start taking photographs to place in articles, and will post links to them here once I have worked out how to do it and own a camera good enough to make quality images!

Picture of the day

The Mauritius kestrel (Falco punctatus) is a bird of prey from the family Falconidae endemic to the forests of Mauritius, where it is restricted to the southwestern plateau's forests, cliffs, and ravines. It colonized the island and evolved into a distinct species from other Indian Ocean kestrels, probably during the Gelasian or Early Pleistocene periods. The Mauritius kestrel can reach a size between 26 and 30.5 cm (10.2 and 12.0 in), with a mass of up to 250 g (8.8 oz) and rounded wings with a span of approximately 45 cm (18 in). Males are slightly smaller than the females. It is a carnivorous bird, eating geckos, dragonflies, cicadas, cockroaches, crickets, and small birds. It hunts by means of short, swift flights through the forests. This Mauritius kestrel was photographed in the Ebony Forest reserve near Chamarel, Mauritius.Photograph credit: Charles J. Sharp
