           Help nature today. We’ve a once-in-a-generation chance to turn things around for Scotland's wildlife and wild places. On Thursday MSPs will debate the Natural Environment Bill. Let them know you want a safe future for Red Squirrels, Puffins and Swifts 👉  https://t.co/TnpO2nQmtw

             There's still time to stop Berwick Bank...but only if we make ourselves heard. Add your voice and tell them. Scotland can lead on renewables without sacrificing its seabirds. 👇  https://t.co/atfR3jU5AA

              Please take action now - tell SSE and the First Minister to Cancel Berwick Bank.

             Berwick Bank could kill more birds than any other windfarm on Earth, devastating colonies of Gannets, Puffins and Kittiwakes off Scotland’s coast. 🚨 We support renewables, but not at catastrophic cost to seabirds already in crisis. The First Minister must stop this project.

             ‘Some of the most remarkable creatures on the planet’ This summer a team from the RSPB travelled to North Rona – an uninhabited island about 44 miles north of Lewis – to survey one of Scotland’s most incredible birds: Leach’s Storm Petrel. 🌊

             The eggs from these adults were then introduced into coastal pools at Mersehead, with the recent wet weather providing them with the conditions to hatch.🥚 It’s the first time the species has been seen at the reserve since 1948! 🙌 📸: C Macadam

             Working through Species on the Edge and in collaboration with Buglife and WWT, eggs were taken from Caerlaverock and reared into adulthood by local ecologist Larry Griffin. 🔬

             Over the past few decades, the Tadpole Shrimp had been found in just two locations in the UK – one of which was Scotland’s last surviving population at WWT's site at Caerlaverock. 💧

             🗣️"Tens of thousands of seabirds could be killed" We showed @BBCCountryfile around our reserve at Fowlsheugh and told them about the threat of Berwick Bank. This offshore windfarm could decimate populations of Puffins, Kittiwakes and Guillemots. It shouldn't go ahead.

             Yesterday the Scottish Government announced a further delay to the implementation of muirburn licencing. That very same day, a muirburn in Aberdeenshire got out of control and started a wildfire. We can’t afford any more delay. 👇  https://t.co/G6AbuJEX7g

             Scotland's first nature-friendly farming summit created a real buzz earlier this week. 🐝🐄🚜 One of the most impactful parts of the day was when farmers from across Scotland shared stories about their journey to nature-friendly farming.
