Anyway, you'll have to come over to Rum at some point.I dont really get too much involved with the manxie work on here anymore, but ring juvs in September when fledging.I'm sure I could get permission if you wanted to come out then with me.If you want to come over earlier in the season, it's probably better if you speak to our SNH Reserve Officer Lesley Watt 01687 462026 she manages MSW monitoring. <br /><br />I'm on 01687 462782, give me a buzz if you want to come over for a visit...or just want to say hi!<br /><br />Best wishes, Mike.Isle of Rum Ranger - AKA Ranger Mike!https://www.blogger.com/profile/15151194751678164987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940459410492238459.post-61564029652538253692012-03-31T12:55:11.409-07:002012-03-31T12:55:11.409-07:00Hi Mike,

I'm moving to Canna in a few weeks, and hope to set up a bird ringing blog for the island.<br /><br />Might see you on Rum at some point. All the best.<br /><br />GrahamGrahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401803878375379036noreply@blogger.com
