It’s #mammalweek, and in preparation for upcoming autumnal festivities we ask you to #rememberhedgehogs when building and lighting bonfires. They like somewhere warm and cosy, but a burning pile is a bit too toasty!

We filmed this male bullfinch feeding on heather seeds at Muir of Dinnet NNR. We more usually see these gorgeous finches up in the trees but the heather is a good source of food, too. Former NatureScot account Stuart MacQuarrie
