Capercaillie can be very sensitive to disturbance, so we're working with Cairngorms National Park, Police Scotland and others to protect these iconic birds throughout the breeding season. Please do your part and #LekItBe.

Excellent outing to RSPB Mersehead yesterday with the RSPB Local Group. Amongst the 0000's of geese (Barnacle, Pink-footed, Greylag) were two Snow Geese. Parasol Mushrooms in the dunes grassland really were the size of plates. RSPB Edinburgh Area LG
