1/2 | The results from this spring’s capercaillie lek counts show an increase of 19 male birds – the first increase in eight years. While a genetic study with @rzss reveals new data about the diversity of the Scottish capercaillie population.

☀️ Water scarcity is back in the news.😓

The Spey is currently at 'Alert', but the hot dry weather is set to continue with things getting worse.

We need more projects like our #DelliefureBurn project, which hold more water in our catchment.

We need to 'rewet' our #floodplain

[Spey Catchment Initiative @SpeyCatchment]

Every time we return to our Allt Lorgy River Restoration project, I am inspired.

This project has brought so many benefits.🥳

For example, during hot weather, the deeper, cooler pools created as part of our project offer an ideal refuge for juvenile salmon and trout.

Huge congratulations to all the staff and pupils at @FordyceSchool from me and all at @EstatesSeafield; a well deserved recognition for all the hard work you put into achieving this and impressing the judges.

[Cullen Fire Station @FireCullen]

At this time of year, we typically see a rise in deliberate fires.
Our crews do not come to work to be met by fire-setting or antisocial behaviour.
We work hard every day to prevent deliberate fire-setting, but we need your help.

When those like me & many other land managers are managing upland estates for wildlife and biodiversity as well as grouse shooting and obeying the law, it makes me absolutely sick & very very angry that some estates are still doing this sort of sh*t! 🤬 FFS THIS HAS TO STOP NOW!!

[Grant Moir @Grantmoir1]

There are less than 600 #capercaillie left in the UK. Disturbance is pushing them closer to extinction. It is a criminal offence to disturb the #birds when breeding. This spring, #LekItBe & do not go looking for caper https://t.co/Sjm8pJd3ym #Cairngorms #NationalPark #nature

Day 6 of the #ExeterRewilding field trip and we visit @EstatesSeafield Strathspey to discuss deer management, forest restoration, predators, capercaillie, rural livelihoods. Incredible learning moments in a stunning landscape @UniExeCEC @StuBearhop @daveinnature @McIntosh_Aimee

[Will Anderson @ForesterWill]

Great to see the interest from @FordyceSchool and @CullenPrimary who joined us today and the fantastic support from @FireCullen @JamesJonesGroup @SpeysideFalcon1 @PoliceScotland , Scott and Lisa Walls and CT Harvesting. Great working with our community and business partners.

[Cullen Fire Station @FireCullen]

Great day spent at Home Farm answering questions from the kids from both Cullen and Fordyce Primary Schools, and learning about the Fire Engine and our ATV!

It's #InternationalDayofForests with the theme of forests & health.

Environ Minister @MairiMcAllan says: "Give trees and woodlands a bit more of your time. Explore them, recharge the batteries, and find time for nature."

We came in this morning with muscles at the ready to turn over the St Ayles Skiff build so we can begin work on the inside.

This image shows the boat in our workshop up the right way.

Have a go at this and see if you are anything like correct. 😊 Looking forward to seeing the results. 🎄

There were some initial concerns about showing a group of 12-15-year-olds, a deer larder...
