Beautiful sunrise today. It’s -3 degrees Celsius and I’m already fed up of the snow!

I’m not a fan of football. It can be divisive and I find the earnings of some top league players obscene but I have to say that it’s great to see such joy and happiness on the faces of people when their team does well #Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

This is a watch that provokes a mix of emotions. Anyone who cares about nature and our environment should watch this m.youtube.com/watch?v=MuTV.... There are fabulous people who demonstrate tenacity and resilience and make a real difference. The @scottishgov.bsky.social need to step up #Rewilding

I think Bowie would make a great cover star of the festive edition of Teefs magazine @petmagcovers.bsky.social. He has fantastic modelling abilities, his range of style is second to none. Bowie is simply a Star #Whippets

I’ve been on BBC I-Player and would thoroughly recommend Hamza Yassin’s Hidden Wild Isles. Hamza’s love for nature pours out of him. A great series #Nature

We were up in the Hill of Edderton near Tain today, it’s privately owned land ancient Croft land which the owner is trying to get historical recognition for. Part of that is re-establishing woodland tracks. Today we cleared an old peat track of gorse

We’ve united with nature charities across Scotland call on the First Minister to stop #BerwickBank. If progressed it could be the deadliest windfarm for birds on the planet.

Green energy is essential for the #climatecrisis, but not at this huge ecological cost↙️

I love this, very classy! I’ve also dropped strong hints for the book for Christmas 😁 I noticed Janet Horne is mentioned in the book; she was an alleged witch burned in Dornoch in the Highlands (I visited the stone that apparently marks the spot again today as part of a local history tour)

Revisited some old haunts out West today on our journey to Ullapool. We used to live ‘out West’ but rarely venture this far now. The weather gods worked in our favour as the rain stayed away during our walks. Snow on the hills though #ScottishHighlands

I’ve signed, can you?
The world's deadliest wind farm for birds must be stopped.‼️

We need clean energy, but not like this.

Add your voice: seabird.org/cancel-berwi...
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.

Just read that the writers of the Mr Men series of books for, ahem, children, have collaborated with the Agatha Christie estate to publish four Mr Men books based on her stories. I have the full Christie collection so will just NEED to get them #Books

Spent a great weekend at Trees for Life at Dundreggan in the Highlands @visitdundreggan.bsky.social learning about their work, walking and practicing yoga with like-minded people. We couldn’t have asked for better weather @highlandsrewilding.bsky.social @rewildscotland.bsky.social #Rewilding #Trees

When’s the last time you saw a hedgehog? 🦔 Their numbers are falling, so I just signed a petition to make hedgehog highways - tiny gaps in fences to help them - mandatory in ALL new builds. Add your name: act.38degrees.org.uk/act/hedgehogs
