@ebfzj28211819 Stirling Uni Garden where I volunteer 🪴

Twas a nice sunny sesh on the garden today, where we pruned our raspberries, took some tree cuttings, sowed some early tomatoes and peppers and planted an alder tree. This was my first session as garden-lead, pretty productive, proper chuffed! @The_RHS @StirUni 🪴

Played my part in the annual @Natures_Voice #BigGardenBirdwatch spotting, blue & great tit, robin, dunnock and goldfinch. Whilst this isn't as many species as I hoped to see, it's still really important data that will play its part in this top class citizen science project.

As I return to Uni I can deffo say I’ve been living the ‘Uni life’, partying hard & getting up late, so a question I get asked a lot is, ‘are you still gardening George?’, the answer, yes, I am. Read all about Uni's community garden in my new blog here👇

Today Dad, Bud and I had a wee walk past Harridge Pike and down Brushes, our last walk together before I head back to uni. However, the next time we’ll be walking together, will be in Spain in March !

A proper chilly one with Buddy today, as we headed off onto the moors. Following Iron-Tongue Brook it got a little tricky in the deep snow & ice. We were treated to views of peregrine, woodcock, grouse, linnet & raven, so it was well worth it, as well as the gorgeous wintry scene

Followed the North Wales coastline from Llanddulas to Llandudno yesterday, scanning here and there. It was absolutely freezing, but well worth it. Spotted Surf Scoter (a first), Common Scoters, Red Throated Divers and Harbour Porpoise. And not forgetting the famous wild goats 🐐

In light of the recent flooding events in my local area on New Year’s Eve & NY Day. I wanted to do a piece on how wetland woodland can act as a great natural flood defence, and why you shouldn't build 150 new houses on one. Enjoy! Full video on YouTube

@talulahbluebell @thornbridge Aye it was. And to you too !

You’re welcome and well spotted. Hopefully beavers for real next time 🦫

Took a lovely misty walk in the woods beneath our house as I wanted to show my Dad this flooded area that I recently found. It's nothing special but given time, could mature into a beautiful wetland woodland. Lovely to see some ‘shrooms & dewy moss in the winter light

🎄 🎄 MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone, have a good one 🎄🎄

A bit of a soggy gardening session today, but no matter! We were busy tidying up the pond and breaking down pallets to use in the greenhouse. The highlight of the day for me, was finding loads of pea clams in our pond! Am such a geek 🥸 @StirUni @The_RHS

I do love a good before and after! Today on the uni garden, we built a wee path to our pond, which we've been trying to do for ages. It’s all about making the pond more accessible. Job well done I think! @StirUni

Here’s my presentation, from this weekend about the importance of wildlife gardening. It was such a fab opportunity meeting so many incredibly important people in the world of ornithology and it’s deffo an experience I’ll never forget. Thanks to @ScottishBirding for the invite
