Spoonbill at Black Devon Wetlands this evening. Along with two little egrets the place was looking very exotic (if you ignored the powerlines and cans of Dragon Soup). @UpperForthBirds
Waxwings in Sauchie just a wee while ago. @UpperForthBirds

I think this is a southern hawker, if so the third species of dragon/damselfly front my pond. @ScotlandBds

A lovely tree pipit this morning at Beecraigs. I suspect a species that is under recorded and under appreciated! @birdinglothian
Some birds from Skinflats this morning: yellowhammer, linnet and a white wagtail.
In response to the clips of idiots letting their dogs chase wildlife: the rustling in the background is my dog, trained not to chase deer.
Latest Zelenskyy address from last night. It's powerful, and it should be devastating for some in West to hear. In it, he switches between Ukrainian and Russian to deliver a message in response to the war crimes in Bucha. What follows is graphic. Here are main points... 1/

Is that really a purple #seaotter skull 💀💜🤯?! Why, yes it is. This phenomenon is known as echinochrome staining. It occurs when sea otters consume copious amounts of echinochrome-containing prey items like #seaurchins. 📸: Peter Monteforte & Morro Bay State Parks #funfact
Excellent, great job... dense clusters (Anderson groups) work well most of the time for us too... no plastic, little or no need for herbicide. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
The calls of Cranes echoing through the forest. Great fun exploring the Strobawski Landscape Park in SW Poland, 526 sq km of forest, meadow, river valley, bog, farmland, towns & villages. Saw Golden Orioles, Nightingales, Wood Warblers, Red Deer, Wrynecks, Marsh Tits.
First EVER 10KM (6.2 miles) run! 2 hours of pain, nature and plenty of sweat. Day 26 completed of a mile run every day for mental health. Genuinely so excited for Tuesday with Russ. Remember you are incredible and never let the doubters get to you ❤️
On June 1st 2015, two walkers neared the summit of Sgùrr na Lapaich, an isolated Highland peak. The mist was thick, and visibility poor. Suddenly, they heard a thunderous noise in the distance. Spooked, they continued their walk. But what made the mysterious noise? (1/n)

A phenomenon so rare in Britain that all our native languages have no word for it, is the space on a mountain between a cliff face and the receding summer snow pack. In German it is known as randkluft. On the 30 August 2015 I visited one of the best examples, on Ben Macdui.

There’s a lot of bad news in the world but this thread will show you that not everything is doom and gloom. This is little Billy, a street dog who is rebuilding his life and who set off today on a life changing journey with his little suitcase. (1/8) 🧵
The great news is that Billy healed beautifully. His anxiety calmed right down. He made friends. He loves his life. It took a long time but he got back to normal. The only thing left to fix were his eyes. It would require $1000 surgery and a 800km trip. The incredible part was…
Exciting news for Scottish Cranes! For the first time, a colour-ringed Crane from England has been seen in Scotland. Not only that, but she seems to have paired up with a Scottish bird! Sherry was born in Somerset to parents who were released as part of the Great Crane Project.…
A thread on inappropriate (re)introductions. It’s a little long (sorry) and perhaps a little grumpy (sorry again). Arguing against the work of others is rarely a good look, especially as we are all, essentially, on the same side, but… 1/21

An Otter that scampered past me on the beach a couple of days ago. I often get asked where folk can see Otters on Barra. The fact is they occur all around the island: it just takes a little patience, some basic field skills and a pinch of good luck!
