Botanising in the Outer Hebrides: Part One.

We are halfway through this summer's Hebridean Recording Extravaganza and are recording some really nice plants. 

It's all pretty intense - we are out recording all day and checking and pressing specimens every evening - so apologies that I haven't been posting much here over the last few weeks.

The first week was spent on the MV Cuma (no internet or phone on the boat!) so we could sail out to uninhabited islands and record in remote places...

Many thanks to Skipper Murdo on the MV Cuma and his crew (Michaela and Gary) who looked after us so well and took this group photo as we returned safely to Stornoway.
