long haul flight

Iona is drawing an owl in flight: she has carefully traced and transferred it and has yet to turn her fingers blue with felt-tip sky. 

Today An Talla Solais held the Ullapool leg of the Flock migration, creating a fabulous range of birds to send on their way.  We mapped our own local migrations, made our own constellations to steer by, discovered incredible bird facts (do swallows really spend the winter in South Africa?) and created weird and very wonderful birds to fly north.  There are pictures of some of the birds - including Iona's finished owl - on the Ullapool page. 

The Flock is nearing the end of its migration after a long haul flight of several weeks and thousands of miles.  Next stop Stornoway in the Outer Hebrides!
