It's on the Isle of Man for 4 months starting April. I'll be doing breeding bird surveys across the island with Manx BirdLife. I'm soooo happy and excited! ;D I've been doing voluntary bird surveys for the last couple of years and did a voluntary internship with the RSPB last year. I've been unemployed for almost a year and have been trying so hard and getting nowhere. So this means so much to me.  |

Great news starling and you'll love it! Not just the job and the birds, the I.o.M. is a great place, if you get the chance, visit Laxey (the Big Wheel?) wander down the glen and of course Snaefell by tram. You'll see a little white cottage on glen road Laxey which may still be called Hollywood cottage. Where I spent some summer holidays as a kid with my dad's mam and his cousins:). I have some lovely memories and have re-visited a couple of times since we came to live in Cumbria. I just know you'll love it, all the best to you. |

What a great job. Getting out there and doing voluntary work in a field you love can so often lead to good things. You deserve it for putting the effort in over all that time.

Hi Hezz, thanks for that, I can't see my posts I'm just getting a line saying 'you have chosen to ignore milliej' so I'm glad others can still read! Hmmm wonder whats happened, hope it will right itself soon, the 'boffins' are looking into it for me. |

Thanks everyone. milliej, the office is based in Laxey. I went to the interview there and it is a really lovely place. I got a glimpse of the wheel and, because I was early for my interview, they sent me to the glen for a walk! I also walked along Glen Road to get to the office, as I had stayed in a B&B near the pier (Tent Road) the night before. So I'll be seeing a lot of Laxey whilst I'm there! |
