Carrying out ecology surveys across Scotland means that the Caledonian Conservation team are occasionally lucky enough to witness some great natural spectacles.  On a recent trip to Skye we were treated to a stunning display of the Northern Lights, with a backdrop of an incredibly clear starry night sky virtually unpolluted by light.  Our hosts Katrina and Dave at Foxwood Bed & Breakfast keep a careful eye on the Aurora forecast and persuaded us to venture back outside after a busy day of surveys.

We are very lucky to have been working on a project on Skye since 2014.  It's a long way to travel from our office near Bridge of Allan, so staff sometimes take the opportunity to stay on longer for some exploration.

Last week Directors Kirsty and Chris were in Portree for meetings, and were astonished to find themselves in the middle of a mini heatwave. A trip to the beach was certainly called for, and here is the resulting photo from one of the fantastic coral beaches.
