Breaking: Scotland’s Flow Country wins UNESCO 🏛️ #Education #Sciences #Culture 🇺🇳 World Heritage status! 🥳 This is huge. Including RSPB Forsinard Flows, the Flow Country is a vital carbon sink and habitat for precious wildlife. It's the first ever peat bog to gain this status, too 🏆




1/2 - 2 of the 4 juvenile marshies at RSPB Otmoor are stunning partial leusistic birds! One mostly white and one half white with a black bar along it's wings. They have a lighter coloured gold cap too, amazing birds to see and I hope their feathers are strong enough Oxford Ornithological Society
