The Blue Whale. The local pond now has a sheet of ice covering most of it, but the resident wildlife have got together to keep this small section clear, taking turns to circle and keep it ice free. Nature does it best.

Where have all the UK native birds gone? 🥲
The silence is deafening & incredibly sad & worrying.
Complete collapse in last 2-3 weeks.
Is anyone monitoring it ?

Hannah is a formidable campaigner who will win her fight to give swifts a home 💚
I’ve been delighted to work with her and @RSPBScotland and have now lodged an amendment to the Natural Environment Bill to require swift bricks in new homes in Scotland! 🏴🪶

As I spend the day in Parliament, please lobby politicians from your computers! Email your MP even if you’ve done it before. Without swift bricks there is no secure nesting habitat for cavity nesting birds. They can’t stabilise their crashing population’s without breeding. Obvs.

So happy that I got to see the Greater-Butterfly Orchid in flower again at @RSPBScotland Tromie Meadow yesterday. I saw 12 spikes in total in two different areas of the meadow, a lot more than I saw there last year.

UK's oldest White-tailed Eagle dies aged 32
Frisa, the UK's oldest White-tailed Eagle, has died aged 32, RSPB Scotland has confirmed. Hatched on Mull in 1992, she raised 25 chicks and became a TV favourite. Her long-time mate Skye, now 31, is the UK's oldest surviving wild eagle and has since paired with a younger female.

Absolute melts totally ignoring the wild fire warnings in place just now (not had rain for weeks) and with the grass and reeds as dry as a bone, they were lucky that their horrific BBQ didn't spread and cause some real damage.

This is why we can't have nice things. 1st trek down to the #RSPBScotland Black Devon Wetlands with granddaughter, spoilt a bit seeing some muppets had burnt the grass with one of those tin foil BBQs and then left all they'd brought at their arses. Even H-Pup, at 21 months, knows this is wrong. 😡
