  1. Field work seems to be over for now in our #BEN_EAF outgoing mobility project in the #Cairngorms, #Scotland.

    We did sample soil for #eDNA #metabarcoding and collected our pitfall traps.

    It was a great and quite warm weather! 😎

    Next: do some invertebrate identification in the labs of the #JamesHuttonInstitute .

  2. While samplings of #alpine beasties in the #Cairngorms #NationalPark for my #BEN_EAF project at the #JamesHuttonInstitute are still in the preparation, here some impressions of the critters I've found while hiking.
    As temperatures go up, so more activity is expected, right?

  3. Perched on the banks of Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands, Urquhart Castle offers sweeping lake views framed by rugged hills and dense forests. The historic ruins, rich in tales of clans and battles, evoke the region’s turbulent medieval past. A Scottish flag flutters proudly above the stone walls, enhancing the charm for those drawn to #UrquhartCastle and #HistoricRuins. Surrounded by serene waters and vast green landscapes, the spot is a favourite for #NaturePhotography and a must-see highlight of #ScottishHighlands exploration.

  4. Good morning I’m posting a phone shot today. Cromarty from the North Sutor, replete with rigs and haar.

    I’m desperately trying to find my tribe on here so if you’re into #poetry all things #scottish #writing #gardening #naturalhistory #justice #equality #baking or #art do give me a shout!

  5. Good morning Wednesday on Mastodon. Sharing a Shandwick sunrise today (Seaboard Villages, Fearn Peninsula, Easter Ross) Not swum there since December due to ill health. Itching to get back. I’ve walked there lots recently and it’s peaceful, but not as soul-soothing as a swim.

  6. Good morning everyone. How’s your Friday shaping up? Early here as you can tell. I promised Nigg Beach, until the weekend. It wasn’t a lie, but I found this instead - Cromarty Firth sunset from the North Sutor ( my ‘home hill’) For context, Nigg Beach IS bottom right. #scotland #ScottishHighlands #easterrosspeninsula #FearnPeninsula #EasterRoss #cromartyfirth #northsutor #castlecraigfarm #cromarty #sunset #ScotlandPhotography #photooftheday #NoFilters
