Fab night leading bat walk for 6th Blantyre Guides at Chatelherault in Hamilton. Lots of Soprano & Common Pipistrelle, as seen in video. Guides so polite & asked fantastic questions. Donations from leading educational events like this supports GW Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation.

Out small mammal trapping with a group at Mauldsheugh Wood Community Wildlife Project in Selkirk this morning. We caught two Wood Mice and a Bank Vole. Was great to be able to show the difference between mice and voles. Mammal Society LaBMammalGroup Scottish Wildlife Trust Go Wild Scotland

Just a wee reminder about Crowdfunder I’ve set up to upgrade my wildlife rehab facilities & to register as Animal Welfare Establishment based in Scottish Borders which allows me to look after more than 7 rescues at once. I’m currently full with 7 rescues. crowdfunder.co.uk/p/raise-funds-…

Spotted this Greater Thorn-tipped Longhorn, Pogonocherus hispidulus, on my box of Longworth traps yesterday after I had finished leading a GW Ecology small mammals session at @mauldsheugh_wood for Go Wild Scotland. BuglifeScotland Buglife NatureScot Scottish Wildlife Trust

90% of income from GW Ecology’s educational work goes towards funding GW Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation’s work such as looking after Hedgehogs like Spud. You can support this work by donating to this Crowdfunder👇 (Other 10% goes to Wild Justice) crowdfunder.co.uk/p/raise-funds-…

Work like this is what income from GW Ecology helps fund.

At this time of year I get lots of calls & messages about fledglings. Unless it’s injured best to leave where it is or move to safe spot so that parents can look after it. If in doubt then this flowchart produced by RSPB is very useful. RSPB RSPB Scotland RSPB Birders

Huge thank you to 6th Blantyre Guides for buying all this from my GW Wildlife Rescue & Rehab Amazon Wishlist & also for making donation to my Crowdfunder after I led bat walk for them. Amazon Wishlist: amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls… Details of Crowdfunder: crowdfunder.co.uk/p/raise-funds-…

Is not often that my GW Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation work and GW Ecology work overlaps to this extent!

Really looking forward to taking part in this Bioblitz at the Haining and Deer Park, Selkirk tomorrow, Saturday 3 August. eventbrite.co.uk/e/bioblitz-at-…

Had a great day at the Deer Park and Haining Estate Bioblitz. Started off checking small mammal traps I set last night. Caught 5 Bank Voles and 2 Wood Mice. Mammal Society LaBMammalGroup

Income from GW Ecology, along with donations, helps fund the work of GW Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation and as they are so closely linked I thought they should have similar but distinct logos. gwecology.com/gwwildliferesc…

Haven’t posted for a while as I’ve found this platform to be too toxic. For that reason I am leaving. I’ll not delete my account in hope that things change but I’ll not be posting. I have set up a GW Ecology profile on Bluesky. Feel free to join me. bsky.app/profile/gw-eco…
