So excited to see lots of colour ringed #shags starting to turn up now (saw over 70 darvics over the weekend around the Aberdeenshire coast)! If you see any colour ringed shags, make sure to help science and report them to [email protected] #seabirds @ShagMigration @CEHseabirds

An unexpected surprise yesterday, as an unassuming dry grassland provided my first Scottish reptile! #reptile #ecology #lizard

Wonderful to see Sandwich terns feeding last night in Aberdeen harbour, seems like spring has finally arrived to Scotland

Fascinating results! It's incredible to see just how far sooty terns travel to forage under food shortages. I was lucky enough to visit Bird Island a couple of years ago and see these brilliant birds. Hopefully more studies like this can help support their conservation. xitter.cf/IBIS_journal/status/98…

These bats won a beauty contest. And they’re very talented. 13/10 xitter.cf/astellassoc/status/960…

These #brownlongeared bats were definitely the highlight of the bat season last year - absolute stunners! @_BCT_ @BatConservation

Gorgeous fly agaric (Amanita muscaria) mushrooms from another of last years surveys - reminding us of warmer times right now! @BritishFungi #mushroom #fungi #winter #BeastFromTheEast

It's time for another round of everyone's favourite game - guess who's poo! The first five people to guess correctly wins a 100% FREE fact about the animal. Now that's an offer you can't refuse #ecology #poo #nature
Did you know? Red squirrels have favourite stumps and posts where they go to eat, often leaving a tidy pile of cones after their meal! #DarwinDay #redsquirrel @RedSquirrelsNE @RedSquirrelsinW

What happens when these two get into bed with one another? I’ve spent my day figuring out how best to sample populations of Lady x Military Orchid hybrids (here are the two proud parents)
