Last week in October two cancellations ... boo... so Ben Lomond and Stuc a'Chroin at Trossachs Yurts are available for a spirit- raising getaway to West Moss-side Organic Farm @GoRuralScotland @canopyandstars @organicholidays @lomondtrossachs @VisitScotland @curlewcalls
ALT Catharine the willow sculpture Curlew keeps an eye on the guests and makes sure they use the foot operated hand sanitiser! Curlews nest in the hay fields at West Moss-side Organic farm. We are creating the best habitat for these beautiful birds with their mystical song.
ALT Trossachs Yurts are true to the design of a yurt from Krgyzstan. It is 18' diameter with a lattice wall and a warm felt lining. The wood burning stove has an oven so you can be live as a nomad. Beds are super comfortable. Sleeps max of 4 adults or a family of 5.
look forward to some actions on the ground and great regional partnership working @ForthEnviroLink @Common_Weal @LLTNPCommPart

A precious lowland curlew chick, only around 3-400 pairs left on farmland in S England, so each one is a treasure. The majority of eggs and chicks are are lost to silage making or predation. Can you give to Curlew Action to help us protect them? curlewaction.org/donate/

"One of the criticisms I've faced over the years is that I'm not aggressive enough or assertive enough, or maybe somehow, because I'm empathetic, I'm weak. I totally rebel against that. I refuse to believe that you cannot be both compassionate and strong." - Jacinda Ardern teapaw.org/the_female_lead/status…
Today at 2.00pm it's a virtual tour of West Moss-side Organic Farm and Trossachs Yurts. See you there - well you will see me!

The outdoors - our greatest asset for the green recovery @lomondtrossachs @nature_scot @GoRuralScotland
I think it's fantastic that kindness is now appearing in 'outdoor' guidance. @cairngormsnews @scottishcanals @nature_scot
Just found out! Wonderful birds with my favourite call. Fingers crossed for their recovery. Doing our best at West Moss-side. Caroline the willow curlew is in lockdown too but will return to #Flanders NNR #curlew #naturescot
It's #WorldCurlewDay today!🎉The tip of a curlew’s bill is sensitive & acts like tweezers, so it can feel around in the mud for prey. As their tongues don't reach the end of their bills, they often throw their prey in the air to catch it. #bringnaturetoyou #stayhome #NatureScot

If you’re wondering whether it’s an overreaction to cancel large gatherings and public events (and I love basketball), here’s a useful primer as to why these measures can slow the spread of the virus and save lives. We have to look out for each other. vox.com/2020/3/10/21171481/c…
