What a cracking start to the @edinburghnapier.bsky.social MSc Wildlife Biology & Conservation field tour. Today we were at St. Abbs NTS reserve learning about their seabird monitoring, seals & reserve management! Thanks to all the reserve staff for their knowledge and enthusiasm, it was infectious!
