Green Shores are delighted to announce the award of a development phase fund from the Scottish Government’s Nature Restoration Fund, managed by NatureScot, in addition to kind support from the Blue Carbon Trust, St Andrews Links Trust and Royal Dornoch Golf Club.
Funding will allow us to investigate new sites around Scotland with saltmarsh restoration potential and to continue working alongside local communities developing nature-based solutions to climate change!

A few pics of tool-using behavior in Green Herons at Marine Nature Study Area, in NY, yesterday. Greenies are known to use twigs, leaves, insects and other objects to lure small fish within reach. I'm reasonably sure that was what this heron was doing with the stems, which it lifted clear of the water, dropped, then repeated. I also watched it snapping at flying insects, and feeding on something on the branch it was perched on. It was high tide, precluding their usual "stalk and pounce" along the banks of the tidal ponds and channels. I'd previously seen a juvenile Black-crowned Night Heron engaging in this behavior (posted here a while ago).

#WellsME - Eyes on the #Estuary: A Visit to the Research Marsh
Explore current field research projects happening along the trail and out on the #SaltMarsh !
Thursday, August 6, 2026, 10:00am – 12:00pm
Cost: Free with Admission"As visitors to the Wells Reserve explore the natural beauty along the trails, a group of scientists are working in the background to better understand these important #ecosystems. On this guided walk, we will dive deeper into these ongoing research projects to learn about the impacts of invasive plant and crab species, restoration of the endangered New England Cottontail, and participate in hands-on water quality monitoring.
"This program is about 1.75 hours and covers about 1 mile round trip. Much of the walk will be out on the salt marsh so close-toed shoes/boots that can get a little wet or muddy and long pants are recommended. This program is geared towards adult audiences, but is open to interested participants as young as middle school.
"Your guide, Gail, is a retired marine biologist and high school science teacher and current #WellsReserve volunteer. "

#Saltmarsh and the surrounding areas are ripe for extended exploration, adventure, and storytelling. Why stop at the Ghosts of Saltmarsh when you can spin up new adventures filled with peril, mystery, and treasure?

Verwilderde katten op de #kwelder van #Schiermonnikoog zijn gek op jonge #vogels en jonge #hazen. Deze hazenmoeder probeerde de kat weg te jagen door er in stapjes heen te hobbelen. De kat trok er zich niks van aan maar kon het verstopte haasje gelukkig niet vinden.

It's been great having an opportunity to visit some different (from our usual) saltmarshes this summer.
We've seen potential restoration sites, very small, but growing, saltmarsh patches and far more extensive sites.Saltmarsh is great for protecting coast from erosion, storing carbon and providing habitat, it's a Nature Based Solution!

Hoy en Saltmarsh hemos acabado la misión del Señor del Osario. Tenemos más información sobre los grande piratas conocidos como Los Príncipes del Mar, tenemos dinero y objetos nuevos, a Tete aún no se le ha pasado la bajona de su pesadilla...
A la siguiente nos vamos de escalada. Y el bardo mediano sigue siendo la persona más cuerda del grupo.

Nesting season for Diamondback Terrapins, which are often seen wandering the footpaths at the Marine Nature Study Area (NY), sometimes trying to dig nests on the footpaths. These are the only North American turtles that inhabit brackish waters, although they can tolerate both fresh water and full salt water. While their range is extensive -- the Atlantic and Gulf coasts -- it is limited to a narrow coastal strip, which is seriously affected by capitalogenic habitat loss (especially coastal development and sea-level rise). The IUCN lists them as Vulnerable.

Está siendo una semana dura, pero por fortuna hoy ha tocado rol. Ha tocado Saltmarsh. Ha tocado Tete Petate...
... Viviendo su mayor pesadilla: que el salir por patas de su ciudad natal pueda suponer el fin de su gente a manos de un gobernador avaricioso que puso precio a su cabeza. Y también un señor quería cambiarle la vida por otra, pero lo único que ha conseguido es que Tete se ponga filosófico sobre la importancia de aceptar el pasado para forjar el futuro. Ahora le duele la cabeza (a Tete, no al señor).
¡Y se vienen movidas esqueléticas y bestias peluchonas!

Hemos pasado una nueva pesadilla personal en el periplo de nuestros aventureros en el bosque chungo de nuestra campaña de Saltmarsh en busca del Señor del Osario. Por lo menos nuestro bardo no ha olvidado nadie y ya no todo el mundo le parece igual.
Y tras tener una agradable charla con un esqueleto criador de hongos la mar de simpático... ¿quién tiene dos pulgares, una camisa hawaiiana, mochila enorme, es un mapache y se va a enfrentar a SU PEOR PESADILLA?
La siguiente sesión va a ser de traca.
