The Manxies are celebrating on Bardsey. They no longer have to compete with the Lighthouse Foghorn when it is foggy and overcast And it is official.
And staying visitors on the island, particularly those who venture up to the lighthouse on an overcast night to see the migrants attracted to the light, you will go now, knowing that you will not be at risk of being deafened by the foghorn anymore.
NOW PEACEFUL BARDSEY, WHERE YOU ONLY HEAR THE BIRDS AND THE SEALS.

UPDATE ON VOLUNTEER MIKE BAKER
Mike was still in Bangor Hospital early today where he has had his ankle returned to its correct position but it may need further attention. We hope he will be returning home in the near future. He is in good spirits and we all hope his ankle mends properly.
This has again highlighted how careful one has to be walking up or down from the Observatory to the main track, especially when the grass is wet. Some work was done in the area where I slipped and had my fall but the Observatory will now have to consider how best we can make that track safer. On an island where there are no pavements, tarmac roads, lights, etc. visitors must always be very careful when out walking.
We all wish Mike a speedy recovery and a big thank you must once again go to the RAF Air Sea Rescue Service for their marvellous prompt service in picking him up and flying him to Bangor hospital.

Another person joins the Yellow Helicopter Club
This morning, volunteer Mike Baker from Stafford, joined the Yellow Helicopter Club. Our Warden Steve phoned the Air Rescue Service when Mike slipped and fell on the grassy sloped path approaching the Observatory. Unfortunately, he dislocated his ankle badly and Steve felt he needed immediate attention. Air Sea Rescue needed special permission to fly this morning as the Ash Cloud was getting quite close to the area.
Mike was taken to Bangor hospital and we are waiting to hear the news. We wish him well but his badge is ready for him and his Special YHC T Shirt has been put on order.
Its poor old Bev and Todd who are now left without a "skilled labourer". You know what I think? - they had all been on the bottle the night before - Emyr's special. :-))
