Yet again, a protected bird of prey has been shot in an area dominated by intensive gamebird shooting management. We had hoped the new legislation introduced by the Scottish Parliament last year would help, but clearly there are still those motivated to break the law. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Red Kite found shot dead near Strathdon in Aberdeenshire
Details on the killing have emerged as new statistics show a fall in wildlife crime in Scotland.

Earlier in the week, I took a visit to Carsington Water for some waterbird action - a nice first winter female Lesser Scaup providing useful ID comparisons with the local Tufties. Female Ring-necked Duck, GT Northern Diver, RT Diver and Willow Tit was best of the rest.

🦇 (1/2) In response to the Chancellor of the Exchequer’s speech today: we believe that blaming the laws that protect bats, newts and other wildlife, as well as our wider environment, for planning delays is short sighted and misguided.
Is the government’s planning reform bad for bats? - News - Bat Conservation Trust
Planning reforms risk devastating impacts to bats, here's what we're doing about it and how you can help.
