Here come the animals!

I'm very happy and excited about my second year here at the Islay Natural History Trust visitor centre. The arrival of some of our popular tank inhabitants last night makes me even more so. So far we have a spiny starfish, common starfish, sun stars, hermit crabs, lobster (I wonder what we shall name him/her this year) and my favourite the piecrust crabs!

Come to the visitor centre to give me a proper INHT welcome!
