A trip out to Tyninghame with a group from North Berwick Youth Project, one of my favourite places to be especially on a day like today 🌞🍂

So enjoying spotting & learning more about fungi this autumn, a fascinating kingdom of which there are over 15,000 species in the UK alone! 🍄 #fungi

Take a moment to explore an Orcadian #seagrass meadow & meet the creatures that call it home! 🦀

#Orkney is a special place for #RestorationForth… the seagrass meadows highlight the #MarineLife that this super species can support, and the local community always gives the team a very warm welcome. 💚

Thanks to those who joined #RestorationForth for a Coastal BioBlitz in Burntisland!

A brilliant variety of #MarineLife was recorded, including many fish, invertebrates, seaweeds, butterflies, moths & birds. 🔎

A reminder to take a closer look when in nature - you might be surprised by what you see!

The #RestorationForth team had a brilliant time in #Orkney. It's always a joy to explore Orkney's thriving #seagrass meadows. The team loved spending time catching up with people in Orkney about the work being done to restore these vital habitats. 🌱

A magical place!

Spent the weekend enjoying the many sites of Orkney ☀️ wonderful cliff walks, sea swims, bird life & of course archaeology 🌊

It's been a spectacular week on Orkney running community snorkel sessions, attending the EMEC open day for #StromnessShoppingWeek & supporting the team with seagrass monitoring for #RestorationForth 🌊🌱🌞 @mcsuk.bsky.social @seabirdcentre.bsky.social

Great 2 days dodging the summer showers & monitoring our intertidal oyster sites with our wonderful #RestorationForth volunteers 🌊🦪 @mcsuk.bsky.social @wwfscotland.bsky.social @heriotwattuni.bsky.social

Back home after a fantastic time in sunny Scarborough for the #ReMeMaRe conference 🌞 It was great to present on #RestorationForth oyster citizen science (an exciting & nerve-wracking experience!) & hear about all the amazing restoration work happening across the UK 🌊 @mcsuk.bsky.social
