There are many other species on and around Carna that we have not yet formally identified or not included. We aim to update this list as regularly as possible but can you help us add to it? If you are a previous visitor with sightings then do tell us or come and stay and help us identify more. Perhaps you can help us find the elusive Chequered Skipper on the island? Or help survey the waters around the island if you are a diver?
