Vignettes from a Northwoods beaver dam! We have said it before and will say it again: beaver dams are nice natural bridges that wildlife like to use to cross wetlands, swamps, and bogs.

Mangroves and coral reefs protect coastal communities during storm surges, hurricanes and tsunamis, which reduces risks of disasters. Wetland biodiversity matters for life to thrive. #WorldWetlandsDay #Biodiversity2020 via @RamsarConv

Our excellent volunteers have started catching mink again after a quiet period over December, which means I've suddenly been very busy again and can't hide any more :( Here's a huge male caught today on Lunan Burn @MeikleourSalmon @SISI_project @nature_scot @taydsfb @EsksBoard
