Forget Hot Girl Summer - it’s Mary Oliver Summer! Time to let the soft animal of your body want what it wants! Time to be idle and blessed! Time to pay attention and be astonished!

The wrong kind of fish is ending up in seabirds. Soy sauce throw away package from a Sable Shearwater.

Speak up for seabirds 📣

Berwick Bank would be devastating for vulnerable seabirds. Take action with @seabirdcentre.bsky.social and tell the Cabinet Secretary to say no to Berwick Bank: www.seabird.org/conservation...

Refusing Berwick Bank can open the door to nature positive offshore wind.

One giant windfarm is threatening Scotland’s iconic seabirds - and the future of offshore wind

So we've written to @johnswinney.bsky.social urging him to say no to Berwick Bank

Our director Anne McCall explains why in this blog – and how you can help.

The decision to close industrial sandeel fishing in Scottish waters is here to stay.

Sandeels are a crucial food source, especially for chicks, and this is a major lifeline for iconic species like Puffins and Kittiwakes.
