Today's @scotgov decision to consent #BerwickBank is devastating news for our declining #seabird populations, with tens of thousands predicted to be killed by the development. We will look closely at this deeply concerning decision & consider next steps. seabird.org/press-releases/d…

We did enough! We didn't win Edinburgh but won the larger European game. If we had lost even one more point in Scotland all of Europe would have suffered. #ingress ingress.com/news/2024-shared…

Great example of an Ingress portal and how the game helps you find cool things.

Down at the Shore you'll easily walk past the Owheo Stone, all the way from Dunedin, NZ where the sister Water of Leith flows. Thus it was great that whilst on holidays volunteer @AlanTay71180863 went on a search of the Leith stone. So here it is in all it's glory. @SOSLeith

The search goes on - looking to find some land to buy for someone, for a wee bit of native woodland creation and regenerative cattle grazing. 30-50 acres (ish) in Lothian and Borders area.

We have less than 4% native woodland. With a biodiversity and climate emergency we urgently need to incentivise and support land mgrs to create less homogenous landscapes.

Pollinators need ivy this autumn 🍁 so #BeeTheChange by letting it flower! It's a vital source of pollen & nectar when not much else is around, especially for 🐝 queens pre-hibernation For even more seasonal tips, download your FREE autumn-winter guide 👉 ow.ly/T8HE50NGSM4
