Exciting news! @ForestryLS applies to @NatureScot to translocate beavers to Glen Affric. This comes after a comprehensive 2 year consultation, led by @treesforlifeuk revealed huge community support for the proposals.

When it comes to hobby hunting, there are almost no limits to the perversions with animals. Here, live ducks desperately scream in their cages, and their cries for help attract free ducks, who then fly over the territory of captive species to be shot.

Scotland's grouse moor licensing scheme has already been sabotaged.
@NatureScot , apparently after a threat of legal action from the grouse shooting industry, has modified the licence & it's now utterly unenforceable.

1/3: Here's an amazing story for you! - the oldest known #redkite has just been found in Brize Norton.
His ring traced him to the original 93 imported kite chicks from Spain, released at Wormsley in the #Chilterns in the '90s during the Red Kite Reintroduction programme!

It’s hard not to feel frustrated by the horror and injustice of raptor persecution, and many of you want to take immediate action. By supporting the RSPB's Investigations team you’re helping them keep up the fight against raptor crime:

Fixed it for you - 'Yet again no mention by @MoorlandAssoc that the hen population remains ruthlessly persecuted in England, thanks to efforts of grouse moor owners and keepers'
Yet again no mention by @RSPB_Birders that the hen harrier population is at a 200-year high in England, thanks in large part to the efforts of grouse moor owners and keepers #henharrier

'Brave'. What spineless cowards these 'custodians of the countryside' are.

EXCLUSIVE - covert investigation breaks new ground on how grouse moor gamekeepers are slaughtering rare Hen Harriers as well as Buzzards and Ravens. RSPB says the evidence is “game changing” @Channel4News tonight.

🚨 INVESTIGATION 🚨Every year hundreds of dolphins and pilot whales are brutally killed in the Faroe Islands. With the UK importing £1 billion of Faroese fish, I ask if this killing is something we should be supporting? Use your voice and write to your MP today! Link in Bio 🌊🐋

Magor illegal disturbance of nesting birds by coasteering. Again. @NatResWales @PembsCoast
@DyfedPowys
There were mating pairs earlier today. This colony all fled at this disturbance. You can see head bobbing. Flying off.

Grouse moors continue to burn on fragile peatlands, harming the environment, fuelling climate change and choking communities.
If you spot burning, let us know by reporting it:

If you're tidying the garden this spring, remember to carefully check for #hedgehogs & other #wildlife before mowing grass or tidying wild areas - as they're ideal places for a #hedgehog's nest!
