#WorldMigratoryDay today. I was delighted to see a #Housemartin photobombing #Osprey (when I checked my photos later on computer). Apt photo for today’s celebration. #birds 💚👏🏻

#NationalBadgerDay this is one of my images of a badger cub we were monitoring due to losing their mum in an RTA. Look at those ear tufts. 3 cubs were orphaned just when they were almost weaned. With advice from experts, Hessilhead & NatureScot we monitored with supplements provided. Success 🩶🤍🖤

Who doesn’t love a #slug? Decomposers and food for others, this little one is enjoying a Scottish bramble (blackberry). I only noticed them as I was sampling some too. Look at the breathing hole fascinating so I too wee film. Enjoy. #wildlife #nature

A memory popped up! During lockdown I entertained myself by making animal themed oatie biscuits. Very moreish and delish 🦡. #badger I made them several times for snacking on during badger surveys 😄

“I can harsh screech louder than you over there” 🤭 Volume up it’s great. Walking through Nethybridge woodlands - my first visit - it’s stunning. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Several #Jay #Birds communicating to each other? Could be juveniles at dispersal peak being very vocal as they move on to own territory.

Beautiful Mute #swan preening feathers at Hogganfield Loch and wetland Park #Glasgow a few years ago. Worth a visit to this 48 hectare nature reserve in an Urban setting. Circular level route round loch. #Wildlife abundant with some rarities. Close by is Frankfield Loch. #birds

#NationalWildlifeDay so many UK species & seasonal visitors losing habitats plus many other threats including wildlife crime, development & much more. Support your local wildlife rescue/charity/NGO 🙏🏻💚🐾

Dark o clock last night but 3 badger visits and several Pine Marten to get their peanut snack. My Family visited over weekend and were delighted to see both species in real life. 🖤🩶🤍🤎💛 Wee badger table due to peanuts bad for hares (high oil content).

Found lots of hoof fungus over the years but not one like this! Beetle expert has suggested, bolitophagus reticulatus apparently a tree beetle that loves fungi! 💚🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
