Another mighty yew.

The Dryburgh Abbey Yew, in the Scottish Borders. The story goes that it was planted by monks in 1136, and who am I to argue with the story. Or the monks.

🦅🦅🦅 We are lucky enough to catch glimpses of the birds from the South of Scotland Golden Eagle Project soaring across our sites in the Southern Uplands. A fantastic project, please support if you can!

No Fulmars! We have been monitoring Canna annually since 1969. This is the first time we have had a zero count for Fulmar. Their numbers peaked at 671 occupied sites in 1992.

Hugely impressed by our foggy visit to Carrifran Wildwood @BordersForest. Magnificent and magical ecological restoration. Welcoming, educational and good footpath accessibility. Features of human ecology (old stone walls) conserved. And the locals we asked, unreservedly positive.
