Out on my #walk yesterday when I heard a loud piping sound and a wee flock of #birds took off ahead and flew loops around me before disappearing, I walked on a little and waited... #scotland #wildlife #nature #BirdsofScotland #RSPB #NatureScot #BTO

That’s the end of the saltmarsh planting sessions for now. Many thanks to all the volunteers who came out to help get thousands of plants planted.
Next it’s time to take more cuttings from the stock plants in the poly tunnel.

There’s a wee blog post with some of the photos taken during the planting here:
