Hopeful scenes of a forest on an upward march. 🌳

Breeding season has begun for Capercaillie & during this time they're particularly vulnerable to disturbance.

Together with the Cairngorms Capercaillie Project we’re encouraging everyone to #LekItBe and not to look for capercaillie at this critical time. bit.ly/Cairngorms-Cap…

I'm glad to share with you a sunrise full of #birds from one of my treasured places in the #Cairngorms . I walk this way several times a week and love it more each time. My Country diary piece for today.
