Wasn't expecting this at 10pm this evening! Was watching the Goosanders on my nighttime walk when three Otters showed up and hunted a Goosander down! #30dayswild #nature @WildlifeTrusts #scotland #wildlife #springwatch #scottishborders #spring

A siskin tucking into some bird feed. They seem to be the most approachable bird in my parent's garden. #nature #wildlife @Natures_Voice #photography

Had an amazing time at the @BritishEcolSoc conference in Liverpool. Great to hear about the fascinating work being undertaken by so many ecologists. Feeling quite inspired! #nature #ecology #science @UofGSBOHVM

Great day along the Forth and Clyde canal and the kelvin walkway. Spotted a couple of kingfishers and a water rail. Also an unusual duck, I'm assuming an intersex mallard?? @Clydebirding @BirdHybrids @BTO_Scotland

Nice to get out to Lochwinnoch to do some birdwatching. Spotted a couple of pink-footed geese at Castle Semple. Also nice to see the whoopers have returned. @Clydebirding

Was not expecting to find a terrapin in Maxwell park, Glasgow. I knew there were a few in the city, but this is the first time I've seen one myself. #nature #photography @RSPBScotland @WildlifeTrusts
