The Scottish Parliament will debate the draft Climate Change Plan today after 120 days of examination. 🌍

The evidence is clear, bolder action to cut emissions from Scotland's homes and land is paramount. ⏳

Lucky you! A long-tailed tit has stopped by your feed. 💚

February is the perfect time to spot these beautiful birds as they begin pairing up for breeding season. #Wildlife #Birds

Heart-warming hares?

Image of a barn owl perched on public footpath signpost, North Norfolk, UK.

A beautiful barn owl, recognisable by its heart-shaped face. 🤍

Winter is a great time to spot barn owls, as they spend a lot of their time hunting to survive the cold weather. You’re most likely to see them at dawn or dusk around rough grasslands, farm buildings & wild field margins. #Birds #Nature

More solar farms on the way after record renewables auction The results have been welcomed by climate and clean energy groups but could face opposition from local communities.

'Rare sighting' of walrus on rocks off Elie The walrus was spotted near Elie on 31 January but it was not made public in order to protect the animal from onlookers and drones.

Interesting Walrus sighting in the Firth of Forth! Our oceans are an amazing place. 💙

We're working hard with communities and wonderful partners to restore marine environments around the Forth - for nature, climate and future generations. 🌍

The weather might be pretty grey and gloomy but remember... brighter days are coming. 🌱

A common swift in flight, with a light blue sky in the background. The bird can be identified by its dark brown plumage, "boomerang" wings and forked tails.

Brilliant news for swifts! 🙌

The Scottish Parliament has passed a law requiring swift bricks to be fitted in new homes. With swift numbers plummeting, this is a landmark moment for this vulnerable species! A huge well done to campaigners, including @rspbscotland.bsky.social. 💙

Polluted rivers damage the riverbanks they rely on. Fertilisers and animal waste from farming wash into waterways, reducing the clean water and vegetation wildlife needs. 🌿

Snowdrops are believed to be a symbol of hope – a gentle reminder that nature is waking up.

What signs of spring have you spotted? 🌿

It’s #NationalHedgehogDay and whilst these prickly pals hibernate through their party, there’s so much we can do to protect them! You can help by leaving a gap in your fence, creating log piles for shelter, avoiding using pesticides & letting small areas of green spaces grow wild. 🦔🌿

A WIN for Scotland’s nature! MSPs have passed the Natural Environment Bill, a landmark step that will set legally binding targets to restore wildlife, habitats and ecosystems.

Thanks to everyone involved - from Restoration Forth volunteers to nature lovers nationwide, you made this happen! 🌍👏

The remarkable number of toads being helped across Britain’s roads – and why Two million toads have been helped across British roads since Froglife started collecting records in 1974

Over 2 million toads have been guided across UK roads during their annual spring migrations, according to data recorded by @froglife.bsky.social since 1974.

A toad-ally incredible result for our amphibian friends. Thanks to all dedicated toad patrollers! 👏
