Birds, bogs and peatland restoration - who benefits?
Interesting on how the narrow target focus of public funding can obscure what's happening, between natural regen and the funded intervention.

From the crisp sunshine at the top of Glen Loth looking down on the Strath of Kildonan, fog bound and chilly, and then looking north to the misty moisty #FlowCountry #Sutherland #Scotland
Semi-abstract landscape inspired by the Flow Country, in Northern Scotland: designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2024. Layers of paint have been built up to create the dark, rocky bogland in the foreground, the blue of the pools beyond, with the outline of the Ben Griams on the horizon. A large area of yellows in the top left quarter give the impression of bright sunrise, reflected off both mountains and water.

Move along, nothing to see here, just the north coast of #Scotland being stunning. It's greedy really, having it all, #sea, #mountains, #forest and #Flowcountry. Today we saw eagles, deer, lizards and an osprey! 📸 mine all mine!

Explain how this fits with re-establishing #ScottishWildcat or how it might impact on #Caper? Oh & you know that the #FlowCountry is far better at #CarbonCapture & storing than woodland at this attitude?
Ahh the wide open and beautiful #Landscape of the #Flowcountry in #Scotland a #Unesco #Worldheritage www.greatphotos.eu/UnitedKingdo...
Sutherland sunset, late April, over the shapeshifting boglands of the flow country. Such an overwhelmingly powerful part of the world to encounter, teeming with non-human life

January in the flow country of Caithness and Sutherland, northern Scotland - as near abstract a landscape as Britain can offer

Incomprehensible lack of regard for our unique natural heritage #FlowCountry

For a few filthy pounds.
