    Just returned from Northumberland and the Farne Islands.

    Red Squirrel, deer (not sure what type), comma butterfly, porpoises.
    And on the boat trip: gannets, turnstones, shags, cormorants, PUFFINS, razorbills, guillemots, and lots of seals.

    Saw a swallow on South Uist last Friday, so they should be around just about everywhere, albeit in small numbers still.
