Living in Lossiemouth, amongst the birds and the beaches 💚
It’s time for a pollinator.

I’m hoping this is Bombus pascuorum (I’m a beginner).

Great talk tonight at Moray Bird Club from @ninaohanlon.bsky.social who told us all about the magnificent Arctic Skuas she (with others) has been chasing.

And, it was ever thus - the more you discover about ecology, the more questions there are to be answered 😃

Thanks Nina 👍

I invented National Bullfinch Day (and why not?) on this date two years ago, so here’s a celebration.

This morning our petition has passed 52,000 signatures. We're halfway to 100k, when we can secure a debate.

We think driven grouse shooting should be banned. If you do too, please add your name and share:

Robin amongst the rose hips. These bushes down by the marina are normally smothered in Greenfinches, but I spotted this lone Robin and, in the spirit of the season, have shared it here.

Sitting high on the slopes of Glen Derry in the Cairngorms is a tree. I have walked past it many times over the past few...

Circumstances led me to dig out this video of a great bustard grunting and belching.

So here it is, in the hope that great bustard belching will improve your Monday by a solid 18.7%.

Sound up!

The view from my window on the morning we heard the US election result. I posted it to remind myself that the world continues to be a beautiful place.
