A shanny poses for the camera when I was #snorkelling at Arisaig last week
Thrilled to find this long-legged spider crab when snorkelling at #Arisaig, which looks a bit a like a daddy long-legs. This species often attaches algae to its legs to aid camouflage – both for protection and predatory advantage
This stunning - and appropriately named - dahlia anemone brought wonderful colour to the seabed at Arisaig #snorkelling
There are many things that make the West Highlands of Scotland so special - but it is the light that underpins it all. Here, a moody dusk over Rum
The wilds of #Knoydart are wonderfully addictive
The magical soft glow of dusk over the Rum Cuillin yesterday evening
Angel of the north - a great northern diver at Camusdaroch Beach by Arisaig moulting into its breeding plumage before migrating to its breeding grounds in Iceland or Greenland
A glorious sunset this evening over Eigg and Rum
I couldn't resist a wee dip under the water of this wild pond on the haugh of the River Devon to bring this forest of water horsetail into focus @BSBIbotany #wildflowerhour
My happy place - the haugh of the River Devon, where a profusion of cuckooflower brought sparkle to the flood meadow #Clackmannanshire
A badger leaves its sett and goes roamin' in the gloamin'
A sea of invasive Himalayan balsam seedlings sprouting by the banks of the River Devon – a real problem species that shades-out native plants, and which spreads quickly and is difficult to control
A roebuck checks out the badger-cam
A mini-forest of toothwort on the woodland floor #wildflowerhour
A trip to Lochend Loch in #Edinburgh brought a close encounter with this fabulous heron
Great to see the sand martins arriving in large numbers on the River Devon this morning, despite the dreich weather #Clackmannanshire
The best bit about being a trustee of Forth Rivers Trust is meeting their amazing team. Here, with the Trust's Charlotte Neary, who is leading an exciting new project (currently in the development phase) to revitalise the River Devon #Clackmannanshire

A very fine pair of ptarmigan today at 1100m. The female (left) was playing hard-to-get, but the male was extremely persistent. Eventually she had enough and flew away, but even this did not deter him.
@BroomfieldKeith Some of the most spectacular light I’ve ever seen was from the walk between Harris & Papadil one morning on Rùm earlier this year. One of those take-it-all-in sort of moments but it lasted ages with the ever-changing clouds & squalls!
Blurry phone pic of one of our new neighbours from today’s lunchtime saunter from the front door. Barn owl outside the window last night, cuckoo on the farm next door, curlew & lapwing displaying round the fields. Bliss.
A fabulous swathe of Red Dead-nettle growing with Hairy Bitter-cress where construction churned up the topsoil last winter, exposing the seed bank. Great for early pollinators, and so named as the leaves are like nettle but stingless ('dead'). plantatlas2020.org/atlas/2cd4p9h.…
Very unusual temperatures for late April. None of these would look out of place in deepest winter. I’ve no doubt that the climate is changing and things are getting warmer, but mornings like this remind me of just how close we are to the Arctic.
Fascinating talk tonight from @emmamacleod95 of @StirUni @smithmuseum @StirlingLHS. A precision tour from the 1790s to 1820 featuring Braxfield, Jeffrey, Baird & Hardie: new perspectives on the paranoia of '20s Britain with #Stirling at its heart. Image digital.nls.uk/broadsides/vie…

Saw my first Speckled Wood butterflies of the season last weekend and my first Orange-tip. No photos of the latter!
Apparently it should be #HillfortSWednesday...
This photo was taken from Woden Law hillfort in the Borders as I began my walk along the Roman road known as Dere Street. You can see the line of the road running across the centre of the image, past the site of Pennymuir Roman camps and into the distance. #HillfortWednesday
Common Whitlowgrass / Erophila verna- looks like a different plant when the sun hits it! @wildflower_hour @BSBI_Ireland
Another early start surveying for Bearded Reedlings on the Tay. Some good views. Singing Reed Warbler also.
Breaking news the medieval road surface has been found! Walked on my James Vth and Mary Queen of Scots! Watch this space! ….
Office today… the first ever excavation of 16th Stirling’s Royal Stables….im King Stables Lane. We’ll be here today tomorrow until 3 ish! Come along if your free @StirlingAWS
One of my targets was to find this standing stone and some Pictish barrows. Excavated in 1953, then forestry was planted and hid the site. Recently clear-felled, here is the standing stone, I think one of the 3 burial mounds, and a pile of bones. Someone placed them as a joke?!!
Holiday target 2 was Ospreys. Bonus was to see them mating. Undisclosed site, Speyside, using 100-400 with x2 teleconverter so no disturbance to birds.
A photo I took recently of lenticular clouds at sunset on the top of Ben Cleuch, looking towards Ben Lawers. Lenticular means 'double convex lens', referencing the shape. How lenticular clouds form As air encounters a mountain, it's forced upwards. This rising air cools due to…
