Tues 19th Aug

Just a short entry tonight to say that Angus Keys, the RSPB site manager on the Oa has left the island, and moved down to Wigtown where he will have 4 reserves to look after for RSPB. The reserves are Wood of Cree, near Newton Stewart, Mull of Galloway, Ailsa Craig and Ken Dee below New Galloway. Angus started of as a volunteer with RSPB at Gruinart 10 years ago, he then moved over to Oransay and then returned here to Islay. We thank for his input to the blog and wish Angus and his wife Ruth, all the best in Galloway. Meanwhile Andy Schofield takes over Angus's position and Andy's post is now advertised, any applicants?
