Hello, I'm Chris, an ornithologist masquerading as a microeconomist for the past few decades, now crofting 5ha in Pairc, Lewis.
We're building an exciting project for local producers of food, arts and crafts under the Made in Pairc banner & fighting to keep the Ravenspoint community hub thriving.

A brief window of opportunity between the expiry of this sheep in a bog & its burial for both hungry local carrion feeders and me with a field camera. Golden eagle on the Isle of Lewis.

600 more Woodland Trust trees planted with a friend on his croft over the weekend. Now a dusting of snow temporarily halting the garlic bed preparation. #crofting #woodland #isleoflewis #westernisles #outerhebrides

Well, that’s the wee campsite almost certainly cleaned and rested for the season (barring any intrepid unseasonal guests).
Van dropped off for some timely underbody protection ahead of ice next week; 20-odd mile sunset ride home via operations meeting at Ravenspoint.
