Wow! We're blown away by the support since our launch - thank you to all who've donated so far. This funding will help us put down roots - allowing our Tree Nursery to grow more trees year on year. Now, we're looking to raise £24,000 to grow the trunk. www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/eiggtreenu...

More #seaweed from holiday. Gutweed (Ulva intestinalis) is green #alga (plant) often dominating upper-shore #rockpools. Looks a mess out of water, but underwater it's otherworldly: jungle of thin, intestinal tubes, bubbling with oxygen by-product of photosynthesis. Near Morar and on Eigg, Scotland.

#TheAlphabetChallenge #MforMemories Rum from Eigg 2018. The last holiday before my lungs kicked off, when I was running the most I ever had. This was taken on my long run, on a gloriously sunny morning, not long before I got lost amongst a field of cattle.

Every time I tried to write about Eigg, I wrote about John the Bird. This piece gets at why: what one person can do if they truly know and love a place. You can read it in Paperboats Zine Issue 5, paperboats.org/2025/04/09/t... along with some other beautiful pieces 🌍💚 @paperboatswriters.bsky.social

Looking from a height over green fields, then the white sands of Laig Bay and the blue sea sound between Eigg and the island of Rum, whose rocky peaks have puffy clouds sitting on top.

A white-haired man, John the Bird, stands with his back to us, poring over a moth-identification book in front of a large window, outside of which is a dense green bush.

On the left, a moth identification book is open showing a series of moths. On the right, a notepad records the day's moths that were captured.

mesmerising patterns of black and white sand in the foreground leading up to a thin pale strip of sea and then the island of Rum looking like a silhouette in the background.
