Neolithic Wood….
Update from Sigurd Towrie….

And tuppenceworth’s from me…
On reading this….
….I made up a song, based on ‘Norwegian Wood ‘ by The Beatles…….
There once was a dig,
Or should I say,
It was this year.
It turned up some wood,
Isn’t it good,
Neolithic Wood?
Found by ’The Two J’s’,
Then carefully eased out by Jo.
When it gets analyzed,
There’ll be so much to know.
It might be from posts,
And if that’s so,
Then what were they for?
To support
Something?
Or raise something off of the floor?
And, given more time,
What might they find,
About that wood?
Isn’t it good,
Neolithic Wood!

From The RSPB…..
Avian Flu update
Watch the video from RSPB Fowlsheugh with an update on the impacts of bird flu on seabird colonies. See key numbers from the Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) Seabird Surveys report, which reveal which birds have been worst affected.
Peatland paradise
Scotland is home to one of the planet’s largest blanket bogs, Forsinard Flows. Thanks to the support of RSPB members and donors like you, it’s managed by RSPB Scotland to be a haven for wildlife, and also a crucial landscape for carbon storage. In this amazing watery world, insect-eating plants thrive and elegant wading birds nest. Find out which birds and other wildlife you might encounter here.
Hope for Turtle Doves
Enter the world of these dainty doves and discover the work that’s aiming to reverse their decline. Turtle Doves make epic migration journeys, and you can watch an animation of a typical route taken by the birds. Hear from farmers and landowners who are creating perfect Turtle Dove habitat in our short video.
Bird’s eye view
From the pale grey eye of the Jackdaw to the bright yellow eye of a Short-eared Owl, there’s a wide variety of eye colouration in the bird world. But why do birds have different eye colours?
