Many people asking us about #bumblebees at the moment - why they’re seeing them on the ground - so here’s a quick thread to explain what they’re up to. Please #retweet as every #queen that survives means a new colony that gets to exist & produce new queen #bees for next year! 1/8

There is a high risk of wildfire this weekend so please do not light any form of fire, camp fire, bonfire, disposable BBQs, as we do not want to place any extra, unnecessary strain on our emergency services. #StayHome #StayLocal #SaveLives

Back from a week of @MtnTraining @MtnTrngScotland @MT_Association assessment in the Cairngorms with @SOTRG & @runningscotland - I passed :) so am now officially a Mountain Leader. Tough but enjoyable week spent with nice people in the hills.

It’s so disheartening to think that a man who wants to privatise the NHS has 1.3 million followers while we only have 440k Please follow and RT to help put this right xitter.gq/HeisenbergBrea1/status…
