Welcome to June and all its daylight. The swans and cygnets 🦒get all the air time at this time of year but this wee thing is a cute coot too. Keep your eyes open for it and many others if you're around the #wetlands this weekend πŸ§‘β€πŸ¦ΌπŸšΆπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ#birds

Working with @scottishcanals we lowered the 18m #Kelpies floodlight masts and replaced the 150w metal halide lamps with 42w LED equivalents to the existing housings. This is expected to save 4,730 KW/h of electricity every year πŸ‘πŸŒ @GreenTourismUK @falkirkcouncil

Lots of new life arriving in the wetlands @HelixFalkirk 🦒🦒+8 You can get a great view from the boardwalk without disturbing any of the water birds. Bring your binoculars for a birds eye view of the cygnets. @SwanwatchUk @Natures_Voice
