Watching BBC Countryfile and planning my Plantlife #nectarinspector survey but results will be poor on the new lawn - lots of work needed to introduce nutrient tolerant wildflowers plantlife.org.uk/everyflowercou… #everyflowercounts #NoMowMay

Looking forward to working with the new coordinator for this highly engaged and hugely successful partnership nesbiodiversity.org.uk

Filled with enthusiasm to be heading south to the sold out SCOTLAND: The Big Picture #rewilding conference. A misty day in Perth but there’s a blue sky coming...

A packed house at the SCOTLAND: The Big Picture #bigpictureconference

Sometimes charismatic animals return of their own accord. Cranes returned to breed in NE Scotland a few years ago for the first time in 400 years & seem to be doing well; a regular, stunning & very welcome bird at some sites now. More please! #ThinkLikeAMountain

How will nutrient additions affect inverts in Dee headwaters? Lots to debate - one way to find out. Delighted to be joined by Mark Hamblin from SCOTLAND: The Big Picture to document this The River Dee restoration trial with James Hutton Institute Edinburgh Napier University @drjdodd deepartnership.org/news/17-jun-20…

Looking forward to this!

Significant £££ for two exemplary projects. Our RESAS research is integral and will 1) determine environmental effects & 2) establish new monitoring techniques for #RiverRestoration. With Susan Cooksley James Hutton Institute & @drjdodd Edinburgh Napier University hutton.ac.uk/news/funding-b…

A big shout out to team #DeeWatch including Deeside’s rangers Mar Lodge Estate National Nature Reserve NTS Former NatureScot account Aberdeenshire Council @SNHnortheast Aberdeen City Council plus NE Scotland LBAP James Hutton Institute The River Dee all expertly pulled together by Sally Wallis - thanks all!

Who wouldn’t love to find trails that are ‘beaver-belly shaped’?

‘Canada's Wild Forests’ with award-winning Canadian conservation photographer Garth Lenz was absolutely worth the four hour round trip in sub-zero fog. Thanks SCOTLAND: The Big Picture @CNPnature for putting on another fantastic Boat of Garten talk. Check out garthlenz.com

Thank you Jennifer Dodd 💙💧 for the opportunity to talk to the Edinburgh Napier University ‘management of aquatic protected areas’ Masters students about our river restoration research yesterday. Was it only last week we were sampling in the sun with Giulio Biondi?

Can we restore the vital interactions between river species for the survival of our declining wild salmon? Watch 'The Role of Wildlife' from the Creating #Riverwoods series: youtu.be/JK-55MMPojg Scottish Wildlife Trust BuglifeScotland

Thank you Nature of Scotland Awards award-winning @UryRiverPark for an inspiring day. Integrating wild nature, on a floodplain, in a town, with lots of visitors is no mean feat and you’re pulling it off brilliantly. Definitely a USP for We Are Inverurie - BID

What makes a great Riverfly Partnership site? Learning from the best today Rebecca Lewis Buglife
