Thorntonloch Beach, East Lothian, this morning.

Torness, East Lothian, nicely framed by this vision of hope.

Just one more day until we find out who the finalists are for the 2025 #NatureOfScotland Awards! There are so many inspirational, dedicated individuals to choose from – who's going to be on that list??

People still asking who had a good transfer window, so I'll chip in. With Liverpool missing out on Guehi, it's Arsenal and Chelsea. The Merseysiders will ship goals and drop important points. The Londoners - who'll be strongest challengers - can take advantage.

Great news! We’ve secured £1.2 million from the Scottish Government’s Nature Restoration Fund to supercharge our work with partners on nature this year 🌿 Read the news release here: cairngorms.co.uk/news/1-2m-bo...

Is this one of the most important developments in nature conservation this year? @naturescot.bsky.social & Scottish Government confirm a new approach to safeguard areas for nature with the #Nature30 initiative. www.nature.scot/nature30

Oh yes!

This is a wonderful story.

Niche but important. If you're an angler, diver, fisher or marine surveyor doing your thing around the Scottish coast download the free SkateSpotter app. If you see the endangered flapper skate take a pic and upload. Help recover this beautiful species. www.nature.scot/app-build-be...

This is hard to say as an ardent follower of BBC Scotland's Out of Doors, but @aiannucci.bsky.social and Stewart Lee on Strong Message Here might be the best radio I've heard this decade. Although there's speculation it could be AI generated. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

I'm proud to say I helped with this by collecting seeds at the Scottish Seabird Centre last year. True I didn't find many, but I'd like to think there's at least one aquatic frond with my name on it this summer!

@naturescot.bsky.social passion and expertise for plants loud and clear in this latest blog. It sets us up for a Scottish Plant Biodiversity Strategy due later this year, helping us and partners to turn around decline. scotlandsnature.wordpress.com/2025/03/31/s...
