It has been a while since I last wrote a blog and a great deal has happened since then. I have managed to find work as a Warden on the RSPB's largest UK reserve at Forsinard in Sutherland. Those of you who know me will remember me working as a Volunteer Warden here last year.
So now I am here as a fulltime member of staff, I am in the process of moving into my cottage and I hope to bring you an official RSPB Blog from Forsinard in the near future.

Skálanes is a private sector nature and heritage centre within a 1250 hectare nature reserve in East Iceland, 16km from the nearest town of Seyðisfjörður. For the next 5 months (April -September 2011) I will be working as a Ranger on the reserve, undertaking practical management, monitoring wildlife and leading volunteer groups.
During my time at Skálanes I aim to try and keep a regular diary of my work on the reserve and my life in this beautiful and wild country. This blog is mainly aimed at my family and friends, but I also hope it will appeal to anyone who might be interested in nature conservation.
