Twist -2

Hi,
I've been working at the RSPB since 1998. In 2006 I went to Ecuador on my first sabbatical. We get 4 weeks paid leave to do some conservation or learning work. (University lecturers get a year off for every seven years worked, but our's is still a great perk). In 2013 I was due another but firstly I was too busy to plan it and then too ill to take it. But in two days I'll be on my way.

Quis? Row is coming to join me for the second two weeks.
Quid? Corncrakes. Quid? Corn crakes
Quando? From Monday. We'll be home by 12th July.
Ubi? A hint is in the title. It will be The Western Isles Sabbatical Trip (Twist).
Cur? I'll be helping with the Corncrake survey. Sic. Sed. Cur?  corncrake.pdf
Quem ad modum? Listening for the creck creck call of the bird with a latin name of Crex crex.
Quibus adminiculis? I'm driving up to Carlisle on Monday to stay with Sandra and Dave. To Skye on Tuesday and then over to the Isle of Lewis on Wednesday, to Carloway. The survey involves driving around the island between midnight and 3am. Row will be travelling by train 1st class to Inverness

(Apparently Kipling got it from Hermagoras)

Cheers.
