What a season @bathgatethistle. Never dreamed back to back promotions was possible back in August. A rollercoaster of a season right to the end! Promotion, a cup semi final, and a run in the Scottish. Well done all involved 👏👏🍾🍾 Same again next year? 😜

February heralds the emergence of one of Scotland's rarest species: the Northern February Red. These critters are found in Scotland and nowhere else in the world and can be seen on sunny riverbanks from February-April. Discover more: buglife.org.uk/get-involved/… 📸@bugsymac1

This follows our previous research showing the same chemicals in 100% of rivers. Pervading the environment with potent neurotoxins banned in agriculture has to stop. DEFRA and/or veterinary profession need to act. To download the full article: authors.elsevier.com/sd/arti…

Pet owners accidentally poisoning garden birds! Our latest research finds pet flea treatments (fipronil and imidacloprid) in 100% of blue tit and great tit nests, with nestling mortality higher in the more contaminated nest. @SongBirdSBS @SussexUni @CannelleTassin

Shame that the historic Pool of Muckhart now appears to be a SUDS scheme. @ClacksCouncil will the village be renamed SUDS of Muckhart ?

An interesting paper on Omphiscola glabra (Slender Pond #Snail) north of the border🐚 A species also known from the #HumberheadLevels but you have to wonder how our populations are coping with changes in hydrological regimes, agricultural intensification & other 'developments' 🤔
