(1/) The wild song of Mistle Thrush can be heard in many parts of the UK at the moment. This hardy species even has a habit of delivering it during periods of poor weather. Listen to it here: youtu.be/QLT913D3qHw... @btobirds.bsky.social JNCC RSPB Science

Meet the water vole. 💚
Polluted rivers damage the riverbanks they rely on. Fertilisers and animal waste from farming wash into waterways, reducing the clean water and vegetation wildlife needs. 🌿

A stonker of a Munro day today with Sharon Kennedy. Beinn Sgritheall from Arnisdale. A brilliant mountain and a fabulous walk. We had a great day out, made challenging only by the brutal easterly winds.

A stunning Munro day today above Loch Quoich, and a new one for both of us. Gairich turned out to be a fabulous hill, and it was great to be looking at lots of more familiar mountains all around, all in their winter glory.

Turns out windspeed and direction were both different to the suggested forecast today on Ben Starav. We were struggling to stand upright at just 250m, and decided at 300m that it would just have to wait for another day. Still, it was a very lovely walk nevertheless.

Parked up for the night at Glencoe Mountain Resort and happy to pay the £5 asked because, a) it's not a given that you can just expect to park on someone's property, b) it's only £5, and c) you'd have to be a real knob not to pay it.
Thanks Glencoe Mountain Resort for allowing overnight parking!

Careful planning and careful route choice given the avalanche conditions saw me, Sharon, Adrian and Matt heading up Ben Lui from Tyndrum on Wednesday. A great day in very varied snow conditions, and not far off a whiteout higher on the hill. Superb!

Feels like a long time since I last visited the tiny island of Easdale, and Sharon had never been, so it was lovely to spend a couple of windswept hours there this morning.

Our first foray on snowshoes today (thanks to Lucy and Wally Wallace for the loan!).
Up around La Foilleuse to Pointe de Savolaire, across to Champarin then down the hill to Morgins.
