- Thanks @markavery.bsky.social - this time for publishing The Great Beaver Betrayal - my article on the Glen Affric beaver saga. As criticism mounts @naturescot.bsky.social must explain its decisions & rebuild relationships with conservation. @iolowilliams.bsky.social @raptorpersuk.bsky.social

- Glen Affric is ready for beavers. Why isn’t @NatureScot ? The question on everyone’s lips as nature agency defies local community & stalls historic reintroduction. Why is democracy being so blatantly defied? Our thoughts in @thenationalnews.com www.thenational.scot/comment/2508...
- “A thought provoking and inspiring account of one man’s efforts to further the interests of beavers in Scotland. This book makes a significant contribution to an important discussion of what natural Scotland should be.” Thanks @UndiscoveredScotland www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/usreviews/bo...

- 🦸♂️ Not all fencers carry swords. 💪 Heroic team efforts this week to get the last of our #NatureRestorationFund riparian action zones fenced off. 🌳 These fences will keep livestock back from the Argaty Burn, keeping the water clean, banks stable and allowing our newly planted trees to grow.
- It’s always a pleasure to have a visit from @andyhowardphoto.bsky.social & a joy to see his beautiful photos. These gorgeous squirrel & kite shots were taken from our hides on Sunday. Enjoy! @thephotohour.bsky.social @clarehartephoto.bsky.social @naturescotland.bsky.social
- Fun collection of red squirrel and woodland birds from Dorothy Thomson #nature #naturephoto #wildlife #scotland
- In recent weeks, we have seen high numbers of red kites, coming to the daily feed. @chris_bell_photography caught these beautiful shots in the winter sun. Great job!
