Today's offering, caterpillars of the Cinnabar moth, chomping on some ragwort down at St Ninians near Kelty

[Alison Chisholm @isonisholm]

Masses of these at Glentress Forest right now, very pretty. The 6 spot Burnet moth, a daytime flying moth and very easy to spot, they look like red dots flying about

After spending all day today looking up at trees I remembered to look down, I was not disappointed 😁

[Alison Chisholm @isonisholm]

@gwenwilkie @MsTreeRa I love that avenue of trees, did you notice the pine starting to come in?

[Alison Chisholm @isonisholm]

@KathiePollard @cicumming Looking forward to walking it - when we can get out of region again 😁

[Alison Chisholm @isonisholm]

A fine looking tree, I'm guessing Douglas Fir?

Some homework for later.

[Earth Calling @_EarthCalling_]

The talented EC staff member Katie created some incredible drawings of trees on her website.

Colour in the trees, journal next to some nature, or write a fun story!

The second photo is a brilliant story by Finlay from Blackhall. 😀

@KathiePollard Whit? Nothing stops for Strava

[Alison Chisholm @isonisholm]

@KathiePollard I caught sunset too, stunning this evening 😀

[ruthe davies @MsTreeRa]

tis the season for spotting CORSTORPHINE SYCAMORES!
they flush early, a lovely yellow shade, the colour of Golden Delicious apples. after a few weeks the leaves mature to a normal green colour and they are indistinguishable from the species type

@ruthsylvatica I didn't know that 😀 I saw a Sycamore today at Meadowspot, apple green and out early and thought it was unusual. Will have to check it out on the next daily walk.

[Alison Chisholm @isonisholm]

@SallieBailey20 @eleanormharris That's me inducted into the world of forestry 😀

[Alison Chisholm @isonisholm]

@DouglasKnox @John_Forestry @forestryls That's so sad to hear. The video is a gem, thanks for the link.

@icplanner99 Things are changing though, with more electric vehicles in our fleet. https://t.co/kz8btpUFXk

Last field outing of the year. Past present and future

[Alison Chisholm @isonisholm]

Spotted these at the @RSFS1854 event in Glentress this week. Nice bit of history, I really want to drive one ... #forests100 #forestcentenary

[Alison Chisholm @isonisholm]

@icplanner99 Aww, go on. Just up the road and back again?

[Alison Chisholm @isonisholm]

Interesting discussion on path surfacing for rural areas.
