  4. I've meant to put up a site map and photos, still battling with some of last year's beetles. A group trip to Orkney? Everyone will be adding some species then... Orkney Vole lives in my garden, not seen one yet this year, Chrysolina latecincta, not in my garden but not too far away, Orca's (if you are very lucky) seen from my garden (10 km from the sea, scoped them). However, currently a very dark place to live, it is getting better now, and there was an aurora the night before last. My blog is at literateherringthisway.blogspot.com but I will get some photos on here shortly, beginning to think 600 species is way too ambitious with my rather limited skills, but we shall see.
