A very well done to Powys Moorland Partnership #gamekeeper Duncan for a v.good informative interview with Farming Today We agree that we need to be far more engaging with the public and educate them on what we do if we are ever to have enough support

A good line up of speakers at #HTconf18 Some very interesting updates from scientists & managers on moorland management techniques. As we negotiate a new phase of moorland management through new long term plans this research will be vital to all involved Andreas Heinemeyer

Gamekeepers create good diverse habitats across the North Pennines. Today a #HenHarrier is spotted working through the crop whilst a large number of Goldfinches and Chaffinch try to avoid being its next Meal!

Today is a good day, We’re off to hand over a cheque to the Great North Air Ambulance from our summer clay shoot! It feels great to be supporting such an incredible service. Photos to follow 👍🏻

As we watched this thought provoking clip we thought to ourselves this is all achievable by working all together. A sustainable uplands will ensure we have jobs in the future. We all want peatland to thrive and to do our part to reduce CO2 levels.

We have raised £3,000 for the Great North Air Ambulance at our annual clay shoot which has been match funded by the hosting estate in the North Pennines. Huge thanks to everyone who helped, supported and attended 👏🏻👏🏻

A busy #linseed game crop in the winter sun on one of the #northpennines estates. An upland estate utilising some of the better lower ground planting game crop. The keeper who filmed this wasn’t sure what the birds using it are? Goldfinches perhaps? Scarecrow Reject BTO Garden BirdWatch BTO

I reckon 166 ? anyone want to count Tonys Whoopers Swans ? stopping off at Smiddyshaw, up on the Pennine Moors TheNPMG @NorthPennAONB Co.Durham, on their journey back to Iceland. Perhaps a record flock @AndrewFoghorn Durham Bird Club ?
