- Our next event! All for the hedgehogs 🦔🦔🦔🦔 Please share 🙏 #hedgehog #rescue #rehabilitation #hogscroft #scotland
- We've just watched a programme about wild pig species around the world. It included the adorable Pygmy hog 😊🐷! Tell us in the comments below about a species you'd travel to see in the wild, or any you have travelled to see. We'd love to see photos, too! ☺️ #pygmyhog #conservation #indianwildlife
- 🌿 We think we've got a great schedule of events lined up for our Natural Narratives 2025/2026 season! Please come and join us if you can, or share with your tribe if you can't please 🙏 #conservation #conversation #community #discussion #beavers #renewables #climate #Perthshire #Scotland
- Reposted by Andrea Hudspeth 🦅🦇🌳 🙏 🌏"Ecologists are only just beginning to grasp the full threat that extreme heat poses to the world’s wildlife populations, and how quickly it can drive species towards extinction. ...It has become a driver of biodiversity loss on a par with – or worse than – deforestation and habitat loss."
- Some people would have freaked out with my experience the other night, but I loved the extended moment when my eyes met with my mouse bed invader, & it realised I wasn't going to hurt it. We were almost nose to nose when we looked at each other before I left it to trot away. #mouse #naturelover
- There's nothing better than a happy dog ❤️
- Another wildlife rescue 😔 Hopefully, now getting the appropriate care from SSPCA. #hedgehog #wildliferescue #wildliferehabilitation #naturelovers
- Today's unexpected surprise 😊 I got a call from an acquaintance whose dog had picked up a red squirrel kit. The dog dropped it on command, and she brought it to me for temporary care. A couple of messages later, and we were on our way to Polly Pullar's to get it proper care. Good luck, little one ❤️
- I witnessed a real-life wildlife rescue on Monday at Pinkstons Watersport Centre in Glasgow. The emergency services were on site for a training session, which became real when I noticed a feral pigeon struggling in the rapids. Well done to our emergency services 👏 👍 😀 #wildliferescue #emergency
- I know not everyone likes gulls 😪, but I thought this herring gull was very fetching and deserved a photo. #gulls #lovebirds #seaside @rspbscotland.bsky.social @btoscotland.bsky.social
- Thor loves it when surveys take us to the seaside ☺️ #surveylife #ecology #batsurveys #Campbeltown #Mullofkintyre
- It's the end of the working day, so why not take a #mindfulmoment #30dayswild #foresttherapy #fledglings #soundsofsummer
- A visit to our local red squirrels yesterday afternoon with enough treats for all of them, but these two kept squabbling. Sound up to listen to their squeaks and squeals! #30dayswild #redsquirrels #squirrelsafari #aquilawildlifeandnature #Perthshire
- French cranesbill are popping up in grassy areas all around our village. They may be garden escapes, but they are providing lots of welcome colour and cover. #wildflowerhour
- Our first rescue of the year! This little bat crashed a wedding last night and was taken to safety by the photographer. It took a while to convince it that mealworms were food, but it soon got the picture 😀 #bat #rescue #rehabilitation
- Successfully released and rejoined her roost-mates.
- A lovely Marsh orchid at St Abbs head. #wildflowerhour @plantlifeuk.bsky.social
- Our good friend is moving on to start a new adventure with @manxbirdlife. Chris has been helping out behind the scenes, so we wanted to treat him to a seabird experience. Things didn't go to plan, but we still had a full day emerged in coastal nature. #seabirds #seabirdsunday #stabbsnaturereserve
- This was a lovely surprise during our ecology survey this morning in a garden near Glasgow. Living in a rural area which is dominated by game keepers, a fox sighting is a real rarity for us 🦊 ❤️ @bbcspringwatch.bsky.social
- It's so great living in this area of Perthshire with so many knowledgeable naturalists. Yesterday's weekly woodland wander at the community woodlands in Comrie was superb! @savebutterflies.bsky.social
- I was delighted to find our first juvenile slow worm of the year today. We have been creating habitat for the species in various places around the garden and always look forward to seeing the youngsters. @arc-trust.bsky.social @rspbscotland.bsky.social @bbcearth.bsky.social @perthshire.bsky.social
- Look what we caught on camera last night. A wee wood mouse getting a much needed drink of water. Please think about your garden wildlife during this hot weather and provide them with some water 🙏
- Our local goats get everywhere! They're such fun, though 😆 #naturelovers #nightimefun #Scottishwildlife
- What a milestone.
- Join us for a lovely early morning stroll this Sunday to mark #InternationalDawnChorusDay Scotlanders, please share 🙏 @btoscotland.bsky.social
- They're here again. Chilling out by the weir in the middle of the village #goats #stfillans #Scotland @mammalsociety.bsky.social
- @wildflowerhour.bsky.social A lovely wood anenome in Callander Meadows #wildflowerhour
- Showcasing our beautiful neck of the woods this #Earthday
- Here's hoping everyone has a peaceful, love filled, nature abounding Easter. X #Easter #eastersunday #aquila
- I bloody love feral goats! 🐐❤️☺️ #sunny #lochearn #scotland @mammalsocietyyouth.bsky.social @wildscotland.bsky.social

- The Loch Turret Local Returns! This gull is no ordinary visitor—it's been making appearances at Loch Turret since 2009! Native to North America, these gulls are rarely seen in the UK, making its annual return to this scenic Scottish loch all the more special. Photo credit to Gill Griffiths.
- We have an event this Saturday! Could Scotland-based folk please share 🙏 #nature #spring-cleaning #birdsong #wildflowers
- An action shot of one of our local red squirrels. Lots more to come 😉 @highlandnature.bsky.social #squirrelsafari #aquilawildlifeandnaturecic #naturetours

- A ridulous amount of burning was underway in one small glen on Friday, and right next to the road, too. How can this still be legal? #climatecrisis #carbonrelease #muirburn @raptorpersuk.bsky.social @jimfairliesnp.bsky.social
- The iconic statue "Still" by the artist Rob Mulholland is back in Loch Earn after an extended absence. Another great reason to pay St Fillans a visit.
- I would have done the same.
- 🚨I promised I'd say more on the Royal Society and Elon Musk, so here it is. 🚨 I've resigned my position as Associate Editor at Royal Society's journal Open Science in protest at their lack of action over Elon Musk. My op-ed in @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
