INVITATION

We previously had two pages on Facebook – one for Curracag Uist and one for the Lewis and Harris branch. The committee have decided to streamline things a little so that it is less complicated. So, as from today we have started up a Curracag group. The group is public and anyone can see the posts. If you would like to share your Outer Hebrides nature/wildlife photos and sightings or need help with identification you will need to click on join.

The link for the new group is:- www.facebook.com/groups/CurracagGroup
