Rare glimpse of Barra in 1958
An archival film shot in the Isle of Barra in the late 1950s is set for a free screening in the Barra Heritage Centre next Tuesday (October 6). It is hoped the screening of the 22-minute home movie, Barra - Isle in the West, will shed light on the identities of the Barra people captured by filmmaker Robert Godfrey.

On a windy Sunday last week Steve, Bruce and Kathy did an excellent job of cleaning Bagh nan Clach, Scurrival. 26kg was collected. Mostly plastic but also 20plus gun cartridges and a piece of carpet. Another great job done! THANK YOU.
There will be no shoreline clean this weekend #isleofbarra

Another great walk at Eoligarry yesterday afternoon in perfect weather. The high point was being watched over by 2 white-tailed eagles throughout the 2 hour stroll. Moss carder bees, red admiral butterflies and migrant wading birds kept us entertained.

A great nature walk at Eoligarry this afternoon in bright sunshine, the perfect antidote to the rough weather of previous days! The group saw a wide range of resident and migrant birds, a Moss Carder Bee, learned about Barra's Corncrakes, rare solitary bees and oil beetles! #naturewalk #isleofbarra

Total so far......
As we enter September we thought it would be a good time to update on the total of the shoreline cleans and community litter picks. Now over 2 tonne.
Many thanks to all the people who have volunteered their time to help.

Little Terns are nesting at Allasdale & Eoligarry. Some currently have chicks and others are still incubating eggs. This is a critical stage for survival. Please do not approach the nesting area at Allasdale and avoid the fenced area at Eoligarry.

Lady’s Bedstraw has just started to bloom and will carry on adding colour to the countryside until September. Historically, Lady’s Bedstraw was used to curdle milk in the cheese making process, making it a good vegetarian replacement for rennet.
