Scottish government is asking for views on proposals to give 10% of Scotland’s seas the highest possible level of protection. These #OceanRecoveryZones would provide crucial sanctuaries for marine life.

Show @MairiMcAllan your support for this move⬇️

Right now, the Scottish government is asking for views on proposals to give 10% of Scotland’s seas the highest possible level of protection. Take action! Ask Environment Minister @MairiMcAllan to create #OceanRecoveryZones to restore our seas to health:

Starlings update - we now have at least six fledglings, all self-feeding. You can see five of them here. I've seen one baby sparrow, but the starlings are still the main event in our garden.

[Nora C @Nora_May_C]

@sheilageorge_ We're opposite a big park, and something about that and a relatively exposed garden makes us a starling hot spot, I think. We get some tits, sparrows and robins (and pigeons and crows), but not in the same numbers.

[Nora C @Nora_May_C]

Watching the starlings at my feeder has been a major benefit of home working and a much-needed morale boost. This year's chicks have started visiting over the past week!

The fantastic @NatureofScot Awards are open for entries until 14th June - why not nominate a local group that's working to control or eradicate invasive non-native plants, animals or fungi in honour of #INNSweek? Details at https://t.co/MkTD4nwBpL.

[Alliance for Scotland's Rainforest @ASRainforest]

On day 1 of #INNSweek we want everyone to know Rhododendron ponticum is one of the greatest threats to #Scotlandsrainforest. 40% of our remaining rainforest sites in Scotland are being choked by this invasive shrub. Read on to find out why. Please DO NOT plant it!
