Falkirk Councillors are due to consider draft new 10-year strategic masterplan for Kinneil next Thursday - we think it doesn't stack up, lacks substance & needs more work, so are asking Councillors across parties not to sign it off: kinneil.org.uk/2025/10/29/n...

I've seen plenty of aberrant plumaged Carrion Crows over the years, but I'm sure that they have all been black/white or black/grey (when Hoodie hybrids), which made this 1 at Kinneil LNR the other day all the more noticeable #BirdingScotland @kinneil.bsky.social
