I have managed to graduate, been to Scotland for a while working and various other bits!
For now here's some photos from a 2 day trip to Islay, highlights being 6 singing Corncrake, plenty of Chough, hundreds of Marsh Fritillaries, 4 Narrow Bordered Bee Hawk Moths, awesome views of Golden Eagle and lots more!
Juv Chough
Adult Whooper Swan
Juv Stonechat, everywhere and doing well breeding wise it seems!
