All that matters is 'get the heather burnt'.

Alan, thank you and burning in Strathbraan too. The local short eared owls could already be nesting.

'This game-changing legislation will bring many important aspects of grouse moor management into the 21st century'

Duncan Orr-Ewing of RSPB Scotland reflects on last week's historic passing of the Wildlife Management & Muirburn Bill in our latest blog:

My view right now. Whatever chicks these 2 produce this year will fly off into a safer Scotland thanks to yesterday's Scottish Parliament wildlife/muirburn vote. Thank you RSPB Scotland Ian Thomson Ruth Tingay Jim Fairlie MSP SNP Mark Ruskell Ariane Burgess Raptor Persecution UK & all partners🦅

The Wildlife Management and Muirburn Bill has been overwhelming passed by MSPs, 85 votes to 30. A historic day in the fight against raptor persecution.

📢BREAKING NEWS: An historic day as Scottish Parliament votes through grouse moor licensing!

We did it! Bloody well done, everyone! 👏👏👏

So, can this be applied to England's grouse moors too? Let's see.

John, correct, but licencing will not stop grouse shooting it will simply provide greater regulation and crack down on wildlife criminals.

This Climate Change Committee report released today is extremely important. It's not 'just' the environmental NGOs like RSPB Scotland and Stop Climate Chaos Scotland saying it; Scottish Government 's own advisors are highlighting that the government is way off track in addressing climate change 🧵theccc.org.uk/publication/pr…

Good news that extension to Scottish SPCA 🐾 powers were agreed by majority of members as well. Been talked about for too long, valuable additional resources to combat #WildlifeCrime which ScotRaptorStudy strongly support! #WildlifeBill #SRSG

Great to meet up with some of the folks who have been working so hard to help make this legislation a reality, thanks to the MSPs who came out to say hello and to Megan McCubbin for a bit of live-streaming to mark the occasion.

Outside Scottish Government to see through the final stage of the Wildlife Management and Muirburn Bill. It’s a HUGE day - licensing for grouse moors and muirburn, ban of snares, restrictions on unethical wildlife traps and more. It’s decades in the making. Something to celebrate when it

Henry Hen Harrier getting ready for the vote on the #WildlifeBill this afternoon! Peregrine overhead! ⁦ScotRaptorStudy⁩ ⁦Chris Packham⁩

Today is a huge day for conservation. I’ll be doing an Instagram live at 12:20 outside the Scottish Parliament talking about what’s happening and showing the scenes. A reason to celebrate!! 🥹🦊💚
