Just a shout out. Did anyone get any images of me playing with my @zeiss_micro at @GlobalBirdfair this year? If so, any chance I could use one?

There is still space on my highland early spring wildlife break at the Grant arms next week - lots of great stuff going on - spring has started to get moving. I’m also giving a talk to kick the week off - sharing a magical world of living pond creatures. https://t.co/FPJDMXQIB5

Thinking of getting a nest box? You can’t get better than this one. I’ve still got my first …over 30 years later! Buy The Schwegler 1B Nestbox online from Living with Birds

It’s very US centric but this article is about a subject everyone should know about - PFA’s in clothing. Paràmo have been making non-toxic outdoor clothing for years.

Why Patagonia, REI, and just about every other gear retailer are going PFAS-free.

Great news @naturescot have approved the release of European beaver into the @cairngormsnews these rodents, will bring great benefits for all. Stabilising banks, invigorating plant life (including trees!), reducing flooding & improving biodiversity. Welcome back we’ve missed you.

Classic crap story about more nature disconnection. The issue originally was about plants growing over footpath (fair enough) but it’s become a ludicrous case of scaremongering Don’t eat ‘em! Or better still teach the kids to identify and understand them.

Who’s going to the @GlobalBirdfair this year? I will be hosting an ‘audience with @IoloWilliams2’ Has anyone got any good questions you want me to ask him? Like, what he really thinks of sheep? What’s his favourite cake? … or perhaps something more pithy?

Kicked off my 2023 #cairngormnaturefestival @CNPnature with @BC_Scotland and my first wild Kentish Glory - such a cracking moth. I bred them as a kid but never seen this rarity in context. It’s not all eagles & mountains you know!

August is the best time to see Ospreys. So if you’ve always wanted to see one snatch a fish from the water or for that matter enjoy the heather in full bloom plus loads of other seasonal highland hits, then how about joining me this August?

My local patch Speyside in the Cairngorm national park is a cracking place to be in August… the hills are purple with heather, there’s a buzz about the place. It’s also the best time to see Osprey before they head South. Come and join me.
