Early April (Thursday, April 8, 2021 - 12:48)
This sort of weather is not very conducive to field work. However, some things are afoot. Through the Skye Naturalists’ Network on Facebook and with the help of Skye Gardening Society, I...
Moth News (Wednesday, March 24, 2021 - 10:06)
At Nigel’s suggestion I went and had a look at young leaves of Leucanthemum vulgare (Oxeye Daisy) and successfully completed my mission by finding the larva of the micro-moth Bucculatrix...
Inverts and Plants (Thursday, March 18, 2021 - 10:01)

There is a lone curlew on the shore. I think there was just one this time last year – perhaps the same individual. Recently, there have been a flock of Purple Sandpipers, Turnstones and a pair...
January (Sunday, January 31, 2021 - 17:12)
The weather and lockdown have limited activity considerably, but I have managed a few things such as second records for Raasay for Cupressus lawsoniana (Lawson’s Cypress) and Olearia macrodonta...
Report On Botanical Activities July-Dec 2020 (Monday, January 18, 2021 - 15:46)
A report on botanical activities in vice-county 104 during July-Dec 2020 is here. Meanwhile, I am isolating at home with only the white-tailed eagles, otters, sparrowhawks etc. to watch….
