A Spring treat to see this black grouse lek in full swing (from a distance) at Abercairny this morning. Fantastic habitat diversity and predator control are just two of the reasons why there are 3(!) leks on this estate. Huge thanks to the The Heather Trust for organising.

Scottish Land & Estates is joining Fergus Ewing MSP & Douglas Ross MSP in calling on Angela Constance to activate the Scottish Government resilience room (SGoRR) in response to the Moray wildfires. The SGoRR can cohere & expedite resources. It was activated following the Galloway wildfires in April.
