Lovely rainy wander among the scots pine regen in #Dellwoods this morning! @nature_scot
Found some tiny twinflower on my travels in the Cairngorms today. Linnaea borealis - an arctic-alpine plant of the north! Associated with native pine wood and a true ice age relic!
This is fantastic! Love a good snorkel!!
Wet and wild today looking out to Muckle Flugga off Shetland. Puffins, gannets and bonxies! Incredible.
So great to be involved in this fantastic project. A brill day with the loveliest of people. The water wasn't cold at all...brrrrrrrrrrr !! @RSPBScotland @CairngormsCo

Chilling and watching ospreys fish at Burghead Bay... #moraycoastalroute #burghead #ospreys
Last week, a courageous band of #CairngormsConnect partners and volunteers carried 3,000 downy willow saplings up to the shores of Loch A'an in the Cairngorm Mountains. (1/5)
Morning coffee, sunshine, swifts!! @SaveourSwifts
This is a 392 year old Greenland Shark that was recently discovered in the Arctic Ocean. This guy was wandering the oceans back in 1627.
Stunning morning at the Spey reservoir today! Curlew, lapwing, snipe, goldeneye, skylark - absolute birding heaven!
A stunning reserve! I love Insh Marshes #inshmarshes @RSPBScotland

This is so, so sad. I try my best to use less plastic but at times it feels unavoidable. I hate to think of this sperm whale swimming around weighed down by all that. bbc.co.uk/news/amp/uk-sc…
Went looking for lapwing today and found some - yayyyy! Other highlights included; golden eagle, kestrel, bullfinch, raven, goldeneye and an air full of birdsong. Proper needed that today!
So happy to come across a goldcrest on my way home. The UK's smallest bird weighing no more than a 20p. Stunning wee birds!
🙌 AVIAN ROYALTY 🙌 A special video sequence was captured from my camera trap this week! An adult female Golden Eagle feeding on deer carrion out on the moors of #Mull 😍 🥰 💪 🙌 @BBCSpringwatch #winterwatch #isleofmull 🎥 Ewan Miles, Jan 2021
Well this is quite exciting! theguardian.com/environment/20…
Yellow brain, golden jelly fungus, yellow trembler, witches' butter. Got to love the names for this beauty!
The jackdaws of Newtonmore! Stunning (and loud!)
A lovely stand of remaining aspen trees. They need the right conditions to flower (hot summers) so in Scotland they tend to send up 'suckers' to reproduce. These are prone to browsing by deer which prevents the woodland from expanding. Beautiful! #inshmarshes #autumn #cairngorms
During heavy winds in the dunes at Forvie NNR, the grasses get blown around in all directions, each gust of wind cutting the leaves into the sand. Little by little it ends up leaving curious patterns in the sand! #NatureScot #bringingnaturetoyou
