Here's the new female at one or our #LochArkaig #OspreyCam nests. We decided to call her Aida - a popular name in West Africa where the birds overwinter, and it can mean "returner" or "she who is beautiful" which both seem apt. 🙂 Pronounced Aye-ee-dah like the opera. 😊
🦌Did you know there are twice as many deer in Scotland today (1 million) as there were in 1990? 🔎Find out why that's a problem, and what I think Scotland needs to do about it, in my latest Policy update for @WTScotsocial 👇 woodlandtrust.org.uk/press-centre/2…
We held a meeting of volunteer ancient tree verifiers in our Edinburgh office recently, Of course they were outside before long looking for trees! David Alderman from the Tree Register of Britain and Ireland talks here about a special elm, almost on our doorstep.🌳
Great meeting today of @ASRainforest eNGO Advocacy Group in @WTScotsocial Edinburgh Office. Organisations working together to shape thinking on how we best protect and restore Scotland's Rainforest - tackling rhododendron ponticum and reducing deer numbers among key priorities.
The mixed woodlands of #ScotlandsRainforest are fantastic for wildlife all year round. But they're particularly important as a summer home for migrant birds, many of which have been arriving back over the last few weeks, such as the beautiful pied flycatcher. 📷 John Bridges
One of those birds often taken for granted but just look at that glorious plumage!

Hedgehogs in your garden? 🦔 Hedgehogs are opportunistic eaters and while creepy crawlies are definitely their favourite, you can feed them: meat-based cat or dog food, specially-made hedgehog food, and cat biscuits! 🐶🐱🍪
🐦 The early bird catches the worm! Or in this case, the bird? 🎶 Join the wonderful Anna on a guided walk this Sat 4 May at #UrquhartBay Wood in Drumnadrochit. A dawn chorus worth getting up early for! #GuidedWalk #DawnChorus
Blackthorn wood was traditionally used to make Irish shillelaghs. 🍷Blackthorn is also the source of the berries for sloe gin - used in traditional Christmas tipples and chic cocktail bar concoctions alike.🍷 One way or another - you may end up with a sore head.😁
We found this Gyromitra esculenta at #GleannShìldeag. 🧠 Also known as 'brain mushroom,' 'turban fungus,' 'elephant ears.'🐘 or 'false morel.' This one is not for eating.☠️ It is potentially fatal raw and likely to make you very poorly, even when cooked.🤮
A little throwback for #InternationalSculptureDay 🗿 Each year, we host an outdoor sculpture show at #LangCraigs where students from @gsoa exhibit as part of their degree. Lots of interesting textures & colours from this years entries🎨 @dumbartonreport @UofGCreativeArt
🧵 1/7 ⛰️ #Assynt is home to around 100 nationally significant wych elm trees. Possibly the most north-westerly population in the UK, they are the last refuge of what was once a widespread species in #ScotlandsRainforest.
'Mon the pips!
