Think you're having a bad day? At least it's not as bad as this small white caterpillar that's found itself host to a parasitic wasp!

To all the England fans in Germany this morning moaning that the team didn't put in a good performance when they won the group how about you just enjoy the fact your team are still in the competition and have a good time. Show some #positivity

After 5 years my first common blue butterfly (an egg laying female no less) visits the wildflower patch in the garden! #Delighted

Not the usual thing you find in a Wren's nest

The non-lethal measures that were trialled in this case was to tie silver ribbon to the chimneys most of which blew away a few days later. These nesting gulls may be a nuisance to some but that is not a licensable reason to destroy the nests of an amber listed species.

Lesser black-backed gulls screaming in the estate where I live today as their nests are removed, most with eggs 2-3weeks into incubation. @NatureScot how is this licenced lethal control authorised under the tighter guidance issued on gulls? 1/2

Similar story to #springwatch. Started with 5 bluetit chick's in the garden bird box and now down to one. What a spring 😔

#Bees moving into the bee boxes in the garden centre! One ready stocked bee hotel ready to go!

Finally! Found 2 Short-necked Oil-beetles at Traigh Ghrianal on the west coast machair of #Tiree today - both only 15mm long but busy munching on buttercup leaves @SpeciesEdge @BuglifeScotland @arobgoo @silvbee @Nadair_Thiriodh

❗️NEWS: First death of squirrelpox virus confirmed north of Scotland’s central belt: Confirmed in Dunfermline, Fife. This news could have serious consequences for red squirrels - we are urging people in the area to take immediate action👉 https://t.co/6OUJ7KneVy 📸 Sarah Cooper

Fantastic result. Huge congratulations to the vast amount of folk who have supported, pushed, lobbied, cajoled and finally voted on this bill becoming law. Licensed grouse moors and a ban on snaring? Welcome to the 21st century!

Today we welcomed a new family group of three beavers to the National Park at @RSPBScotland Insh Marshes 🦫 We’ll keep working with land managers and partners to ensure beavers have a positive impact on their surroundings. More: https://t.co/mukiQXq6OR 📸 RSPB Scotland

We knew it was going to be bad but this is hard to take in - a 75% decline in breeding Bonxies because of the avian influenza outbreaks.
