What a season @bathgatethistle. Never dreamed back to back promotions was possible back in August. A rollercoaster of a season right to the end!
Promotion, a cup semi final, and a run in the Scottish. Well done all involved 👏👏🍾🍾
Same again next year? 😜

Do you love studying insects, and appreciate the value of museum entomology collections? We are looking for an Entomologist to join our growing team of Natural Science curators at the Ulster Museum. ce0568li.webitrent.com/ce056…

February heralds the emergence of one of Scotland's rarest species: the Northern February Red.
These critters are found in Scotland and nowhere else in the world and can be seen on sunny riverbanks from February-April.

This follows our previous research showing the same chemicals in 100% of rivers. Pervading the environment with potent neurotoxins banned in agriculture has to stop. DEFRA and/or veterinary profession need to act.

Pet owners accidentally poisoning garden birds! Our latest research finds pet flea treatments (fipronil and imidacloprid) in 100% of blue tit and great tit nests, with nestling mortality higher in the more contaminated nest. @SongBirdSBS @SussexUni @CannelleTassin

Shame that the historic Pool of Muckhart now appears to be a SUDS scheme. @ClacksCouncil will the village be renamed SUDS of Muckhart ?

An interesting paper on Omphiscola glabra (Slender Pond #Snail) north of the border🐚 A species also known from the #HumberheadLevels but you have to wonder how our populations are coping with changes in hydrological regimes, agricultural intensification & other 'developments' 🤔
