Not long now until this year’s #beaver kits will leave their family lodge for the first time and explore the wet woodland around them created by their family. • I’m hoping for more special moments like this from June last year in the coming weeks and months • If you want to learn more about #beavers, their biology, benefits, interaction with other species, management or just to see more cute images then check out @scottishwildbeaver conference through the link in our bio where a range of speakers from across Europe will discussing a range of beaver related topics on 6th July just outside Perth, #Scotland. • #specialmoments #ecosystemengineer #rewilding #conference #nature #wildife #videooftheday #followme
After spending my Saturday finding suitable sites to set up camera traps, hoping to glimpse the elusive #PineMarten that roams the forest around us I was horrified to find this Marten on my drive to work along a fairly straight section of our country road. • Please watch out for wildlife while driving especially at night. • #watchoutforwildlife #driveresponsibly #noexcuses
A historic day yesterday as #beavers became recognised as a European Protected Species in Scotland. - They can no longer be killed or their dams removed without a licence. - Now we can really begin to unlock the ecological benefits that they can bring to Scotland. - I’m proud to have played my small part in this but thanks to everyone who has made this happen over the past two decades. - #BeaversAreBack #finallyprotected #photooftheday
From 1 May 2019 the Eurasian #Beaver will be formally protected under the EU habitats directive in Scotland 🙌🏻 • Announced this morning by @strathearnrose • Long overdue but very much welcome. • To celebrate here’s a beaver kit having a mighty good groom from last summer. • #atlast #finallyprotected #beavers #followme #videooftheday
