Great captures of this Merlin Steve!

What a sight to see and capture!

After recently capturing this pair of gannets with their egg, I was concerned about their success and survival. This paper gives me hope that they’ve all made it! 😊

It’s always difficult, I think, to do a post out of the blue where you just come straight out and say “BUY MY BOOK HERE LOOK HERE IT IS” without any preamble, but sometimes you just have to take a deep breath and do it.

Wow what an experience!

The post breeding season fieldwork has begun with shag ring resighting on the go. Please send any colour ringed shag sightings from the UK east coast to shags@ceh.ac.uk

Gorgeous capture Stephanie!

What a capture…so beautiful! 😍 #Birds

Thanks John, I really appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge. 😊

Wow that’s very interesting thank you. These ones were all closed, mostly brown but also some green beside them, so I’m not sure which of the two it was going for as I only questioned it when I got home and looked at the photos.

Hi John, it was Scots pine.

Elegance and beauty! #SuperSeabirdSunday #BirdingScotland

Bittersweet moment, great shot though!

Thanks Steve, the chunky bill and the fact this one was flying solo is what made me question it.

New research from Pesticide Action Network reveals the extent of pesticide use by UK councils. These are poisons being sprayed in your street, your local park. Pls share.

I thoroughly enjoyed and would recommend Bird Therapy by Joe Harkness and A Complete Guide to British Birds by Brett Westwood and Stephen Moss, both available on audible.

What an adorable little ball of fluff! 🥰Great capture Ralph!

Cracking shot Dave! 😍

Some devastating news today.

Earlier this year the First Minister @johnswinney.bsky.social said "nature should be at the heart of climate action". This decision flies in the face of that.

We are extremely concerned to hear that consent has been given to Berwick Bank Offshore Wind Farm, which will be one of the world's largest such developments, sited in an internationally important area for seabirds.

Back to normal yesterday, spotting wildlife in Aberdeen. I really enjoyed my time on the Rhine in Germany and the Netherlands but it can’t compete with the Dee where biodiversity is concerned.

The difference just 4 years can make when land is released from overgrazing.

Nothing was planted here: all these native trees, wildflowers, etc, came naturally, along with loads of butterflies, birds, + other animal life.

THIS is how we reverse nature loss. #Rewilding 🌍

Loch Lomond Flamingo Land resort set for approval after appeal The theme park operator wants to build a £40m resort with a waterpark, monorail, hotel and restaurants.

To invest in nature you have to stop destroying it! @snp.org @johnswinney.bsky.social

“We are utterly dismayed by this news... To see it destroyed in a National Park beggars belief. This proposal contravenes multiple regulations and sparked vast opposition locally and nationally.”
