We're excited to see how quickly the boardwalk is coming along! It already looks like a...boardwalk! Looking forward to it being finished so we can get a closer look at Peel Tower. @VisitScotland@HeritageFundSCO@RSPBLochwinnoch@RenCouncil
The tug has been painted, weatherproof shutters & new roof, camera attached to new mast & now an accessible ramp so you can get views out over Bogside Flats SSSI, double estuary & more. Head down to @Scotmaritime & be sure to add any wildlife you spot (otter!) to irecord!
It's happening! Although funny to look out & think you're seeing a floating digger...prep work for the boardwalk has started! A great addition to @RSPBLochwinnoch thanks to @VisitScotland & @HeritageFundSCO who are funding the project!

#BurnsNight ! If out & about now the sun is shining, you might be lucky enough to spot haggis! They're very likely still to be in hiding though, just in case...If you head out on the hunt for wild haggis record it on our irecord activity! https://t.co/HTnXOkWS1D

Some blue skies to help combat any January blues - perfect opportunity to get out on one of the PTWK trails or make your own & share with us where you go. Sure it'll be warmer moving about outside than sat at a screen inside - no? Just me?! https://t.co/DrN0FLUBTs
Take advantage of the wintry weather & spectacular views over the estuary over to Arran & book yourself a tour on the tug! Remember you can log anything you spot with the naked eye or through binoculars on our #iRecord activity!

Throwback Monday isn't really a thing, but as we (Laura & Iona) finish up at Garnock Connections today, we wanted to share some snapshots from our time here! ππππ Thanks to all who attended our events and to all our partners we worked alongside this year!
Great to be part of #NatureofScotland awards tonight, we didn't win but were lucky enough to share our table with some winner - congratulations to @savebutterflies for winning in the Citizen Science Award @NatureofScot Thanks for a great night @RSPBScotland
Our very own Iona, when not wearing her Garnock Connections hat, also works for @froglifers who are winners at tonight's @NatureofScot Awards in the Youth and Education category - Congratulations!
Good luck to all nominees and especially to our Raising the Bogs project at tonight's @NatureofScot Awards in the Nature & Climate Action category!
