This is an urban local wildlife site. Three layers of ex landfill are now a mix of scrub and grassland with some woodland originating from landfill remediation. Also a large two part woodland, part semi-natural beech woods and part remnant ornamental gardens with some glades in both. Habitat work of creating scrapes has enhanced wet areas. The site has seen a decent amount of recording by local naturalists and an active friends group and the list is steadily increasing.

90 Uig Hotel, Isle of Skye

This is where I work and live. Amongst other duties, I'm both the maintenence guy and the gardener/groundskeeper, so I tend to see plenty of bits and bobs - everywhere from the loftspaces to beneath the floorboards when indoors, to the lawns, trees, woodshed and streams when outside. I've been here since December 2016.
