Naturetrek to Romania. The forests and the national parks great for wildlife. Day one of our trip starts off well with abundant BirdLife in the forests and chamois seen on the steep slopes.
Delighted that Rural Affairs and Islands Committee has voted for amendment 22 from Elena Whitham MSP on the #AgricultureBill to add an objective on #animalhealth and welfare in the stage 2 debate today. Great that this has been incorporated into the bill: soilassociation.org/farmers-grower… OneKind Nature Friendly Farming Network

God to see questions are being asked about "nightmare" claims (for & against #Larus gulls) Is NatureScot "close to being attacked"?pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/aberde… OneKind Wild Justice The SOC Chris Packham #LethalMeasures #Science #WildlifeManagement

Get Wild 🐦 🦋 🐝 🍃 I lead the RSPB'S Investigations team and have now contacted Douglas Robertson (Kent Police wildlife crime co-ordinator). Scaffolding needs to immediately come down to allow birds access to their nests, the chicks will be fledged and gone in days, and the issue is then resolved.
🦫 On Wednesday evening, members of the OneKind team & Trustees enjoyed watching a family of beavers Argaty Red Kites & learning about these remarkable animals. 👉 Learn more about the wild beavers reintroduction site: argatyredkites.co.uk 🙌 Thank you to Tom Argaty Red Kites
Highlights from a special night watching the beavers with our friends @onekindscotland OneKind is Scotland’s animal campaigns charity. They were great supporters of our beaver translocations. To learn more about their work visit OneKind.org Bob Elliot Chris Packham
