Pink Sharwaters!

I gather that around 20 Manxies have now been colour washed with a pink dye to try and find out something about their feeding and dispersal distribution to add further insight to the electronic tagging. One has already been seen last week amongst the many thousands which pass near Lands End - and by an ex Skokholm warden - Jean Lawman who is an avid seawatcher..

On the Skokholm front too - there have now been three weeks of work parties on the island this year and a great deal of work has been done to be followed by four more weeks coming up from 7th August. All these are more or less full but we are keen to involve more local people helping - especially with the deliveries of building materials to the island. We have done four trips with around 16 tons of stuff but there is still 14 tons of sand and aggregate at Dale ready to go and a load of scaffolding and roofing timbers to go across in another ten days or so.

Can anyone help tonight??? Leaving Neyland at 4pm. Please ring me if you can - 01646 636754 or 07812 982884

Thanks
