Recently

Been up to quite a bit recently so haven't really had time to do a blog post! 

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!

Adult Whooper Swan 

Juv Stonechat, everywhere and doing well breeding wise it seems!

Marsh Fritillary, thanks to a tip off from Becky and Lorna from the Islay Natural History Trust and if your ever on the island go to the Museum! Check out the blog here http://islaynaturalhistory.blogspot.co.uk/

Small Copper

Early Northern Marsh Orchid I think

Will update the blog as and when I find time to sort through masses of photos!
