Visiting the incredible #flowcountry and RSPB reserve at #Forsinard to deliver training on water vole in upland habitats. Scotland holds 40% of Britain's water vole population with the north of Scotland being an important stronghold.

A worrying decline in this enigmatic woodland wader. Read more below. Thanks to all the volunteers who helped with the 2023 Woodcock Survey!
The British #Woodcock population has declined by -35% between 2003 & 2023. With heavy declines across Scotland (-47%) & southern Britain, but a small increase in northern England: https://t.co/EP9OHVlIlX…

So @TheGreenParty now have 4 seats - as many as the revolting Reform party are forecast to get. So why in god’s name is @BBCNews rabbiting on about Reform still and not talking about extraordinary Green performance??

This election's conspiracy of silence on climate & nature is deeply damaging - and totally out of step with the public. My reflections on 14 years in which the environment became a top priority for voters, despite timidity & roll backs from other parties

Amazing what can be achieved by working together for nature. Little tern have declined in Scotland by a massive 29% since 2000. Giving our terns safe, disturbance-free places to breed can reserve this decline. Well done @ILYAirport @SpeciesEdge @RSPBScotland ♥️
New safe nesting habitat for rare little terns has been created at @ILYAirport - great work from @SpeciesEdge @Hial_Airports and @RSPBScotland! Fingers crossed for a successful breeding season for the terns. Read more: https://t.co/NB9Ty3WVdr

Yet another case of criminals with firearms targeting protected birds of prey in our countryside. Who would have the motive, access, equipment and knowledge to target these very secretive birds at this site? If you know, please contact @PoliceScotland
@RSPBScotland
We are appealing for information after a suspected attempt to target birds of prey in the Strathspey area. On Saturday, 8 June we received a report of an active Goshawk nest having been found abandoned in suspicious circumstances, near Loch Gynack. More: https://t.co/oCto8QmhqO
