This year’s #NatureOfScotland Awards on 20 November will be hosted by BBC Springwatch star Iolo Williams, and BBC Landward presenter Arlene Stuart. It’s going to be a great night!
Arlene Stuart smiles at the camera. She's wearing a black jacket with a red inner hood, and a tractor sits in a field behind her. Iolo Williams looks at the camera. He's wearing a red jacket and holding binoculars. Trees are out of focus behind him

Today is the Senedd (Welsh Parliament) debate on swift bricks to be installed in all new buildings in Wales. Over 10,000 people signed a petition to get this debate, lets hope they make the right decision.

Met with Agriculture Minister @jimfairlielogie this morning to discuss the management scheme for sea eagles. We need a proper evidence base on their diet rather than scare stories of ‘horse eating eagles’ @skyeandfrisa 🦅🐴 news.stv.tv/highlands-is...
No evidence of farmer's missing Shetland ponies found in eagle nests
Five Shetland pony foals disappeared from a farm in South Uist between May and June, with the owner raising concerns that the birds of prey could be responsible.

💚 This new legislation could transform the state of nature in Wales - but only if parts of the Bill are stronger and clearer.
