The truth is that we are all sick of the criminality and wanton environmental destruction this ghastly industry perpetuates . Time to shut it down ⁦@ReviveCoalition⁩ ⁦@RaptorPersUK⁩ ⁦@RSPBScotland⁩ ⁦@onekindtweet⁩ ⁦@LeagueACS⁩ https://t.co/HEhomZtbB1

Experts predict ‘catastrophic ecosystem collapse’ of UK forests within 50 years - Evening Standard. It's not ecosystem collapse that has already happened it's plantation damage with a few sad old trees or hunting forests being destroyed along the way. https://t.co/TRibrVFMta

Had a great time surveying for ladybirds in Springbank Cemetery. 6 species were found in total: Orange, Cream Spot, 2-Spot, 10-Spot, Larch, and the invasive non-native Harlequin ladybird.

@JohnWil02764261 @stephwebb99 @_BTO A ringed bird is still a wild bird, I wouldn't let a tiny metal ring diminish your experience of witnessing our incredible wildlife.

More Waxwing ringing! This one seemed determined to munch my finger off, obviously hadn't quite had his fill of Rowan berries.

Corncrake numbers have risen in Scotland for the first time in five years, offering hope to conservationists that the species can be saved: https://t.co/L4V4l6vJ7P

We desperately need more native woodland for biodiversity and climate. It can be done. Here Carrifran Wildwood 1990-2023.

@Anthrobirder Superb shots!

Was out surveying sand dune vegetation at Balmedie Beach today. The waterproof clipboards definitely came in handy!

Preparation for getting some beavers in hopefully😁

Forestry and Land Scotland plan to restore 12000 acres of riparian woodland over the next few years in the Northern HIghlands, giving every watercourse buffers of native woodland and scrub up to 100 metres wide to maintain healthy river systems

Dramatic habitat changes from 1993 to 2019 on Wildland Limited’s Glenfeshie Estate.

Decades of data have been collated from the entire #CairngormsConnect Partnership to better understand the potential of forest regeneration in the presence of deer. https://t.co/62AaLAqgCe

Incredible to have spotted this Red-flanked Bluetail in Aberdeen yesterday, only the 3rd record in Aberdeenshire! Totally unexpected sighting.

With none of the bureaucracy and expense associated with the reintroduction of native wildlife, hundreds of non-native pheasants have been released near to our farm. They are now eating our 'crop' ('crop' being defined as biodiversity). In what world does this make any sense?

[Danny @Dannythomas_216]

When I woke up yesterday morning, I'd never even seen a Waxwing. A few hours later, I was holding one in my hand, fitting it with a unique colour ring combination as part of the BTO ringing scheme. What a privilege to see these stunning birds up close.
