Amazing freshwater habitat in space created from the root plate of a fallen Scot’s pine tree at Beinn Eighe NNR

NatureScot photography project reveals scale of habitat restoration at Highland nature reserves 🔗 https://t.co/qBlPFL6rXP

Our new Storymap reveals the scale of habitat restoration at some of our finest nature sites. Repeat photography at our National Nature Reserves shows expanding Caledonian pine forests, spreading birch woodlands and restored peatlands. Explore here: https://t.co/NCkl1JXiMz

Always worth the early start to count the black grouse leks. Particularly enjoyed the cock trying to get the aerial advantage by using the top of a pine tree.

@StevenFalk1 @GeoffWilkinso19 @imag15621152 @sarahhenshall Not sure if you had any luck, but it looks like there is a copy in the Aberdeen, Aviemore and Inverness NatureScot offices. You probably wouldn’t be able to take it away, but you could contact one of these offices to ask if you can see/copy?

BIG news alert! 🚨Our Peffery Catchment Restoration Project has been awarded £1.2 million of Nature Restoration Funding.

We’ll be doing lots of large (and small) projects in the catchment over the next 3 years. Here’s a 🧵 about it:

@PinkfootedGus Thanks Gus. Well done!

Pretty cool original cuttings from ‘The Sphere’, 22 December 1951 about ‘Britain’s first nationally-owned nature reserve’ at Beinn Eighe.

Was a pleasure to take a group of folks from @EndangeredLands funded projects across Europe around Invereshie & Inshriach NNR

Tough day out there for the wildlife today. #StormBabet

Pretty cool, but I think photography has ruined the northern lights experience though 😂

A Krumholtz twisted Scot’s pine… that for the last 8 years or so seems to be growing a lot faster and more upright resulting in a very odd growth form. At first I thought the tree had fallen over.

Great day in Glasgow yesterday for a cycling fan.

What links our Rum National Nature Reserve and the Red Planet? Amazingly, ancient rocks from the island are playing an important role in an international space mission to discover more about Mars (1/5)

[Ian Sargent @IanASargent]

Sensational weather in Rum NNR up the cuillin.

Handa at its best today. Seemed like far fewer bonxies, which I guess is to be expected, but still loads of wildlife.
