Aquatic and wetland habitats are among our most fascinating landscapes 👌

This July we will be exploring wetland plants, learning how to identify key species and tell close lookalikes apart through close inspection and field skills.

Same course, 'Native Plants of Ponds and Marshes', two locations:
@FSCSlaptonLey, Devon: Tuesday 7th July to Thursday 9th July
@FSCFlatfordMill, Suffolk: Monday 20th July to Wednesday 22nd July

Both sites are at their best in mid‑summer, when wetlands are full of life and detail.

We are currently in attendance at a wildfire on Slievenaman Road, Newcastle.
Locals should avoid the area to help support firefighting operations.
NIFRS request the public act responsibly if you are in the countryside this weekend. If you see a fire, call 999 immediately

@UndisScot That used to be my commute. When I got the job the boss told me don't try to use a motorbike. It's been tried.

@ScotRail hey. I found a phone just outside Waverley station tonight and I cannot believe that none of your staff would take it cause it was found outside the station perimeter. Where’s your wider civic sense? There were no police around to hand it too - presumably busy on calls. Meanwhile your team stood with hands in pockets saying “not my problem”!

Mosses and lichens are often at their best in winter, when damp conditions make them easier to spot and study. Our winter lichen & moss bundle brings together three compact guides designed to help you identify common species in the field.

The bundle includes:
• Woodland mosses & liverworts – a practical introduction to species you’re likely to encounter in woods
• Churchyard lichens – 50 common species, with a clear identification key on the reverse
• Garden mosses & liverworts – ideal for exploring urban and suburban habitats

The three guides are currently available together for £10: https://t.co/Rovkh3NMWf

@1953FlyingScot A slate blew off a neighbours house through a colleague's car roof. She got them to fit a sunroof on the insurance.
