More fabulous news from a fabulous news source. I think we passed the tipping point last year. The future is renewables and it’s only a matter of time.

First blackcap capture of the year at Damhead near #Traquair in the Scottish Borders. A great excursion from #Walkerburn with the boys - also pictured. #bird #birds
Every dog walk is a litter pick. Been putting up @pawsonplastic.bsky.social posters in the wonderful Inch Park with Scotty and Brodie last night. Such a lovely place and litter was collected. The campaign is to encourage more people to bin their litter and to join a great cause.
The #@robcrank68.Bsky.social #themeoftheday is #bestofJuly. Easy. Has to be from the trip to the Farne Islands. #bird #birds

The curtain rises at The King’s with a fabulous light show
The invited audience on Friday evening were entertained with a show which opened with Nicola Benedetti, CBE, doing what she does best. The internationally renowned violinist, who also heads up the Edinburgh International Festival, had the King's Theatre in the palm of her hand as she stood alone in the spotlight on the stage. She performed an extract from Chaconne from Partitia No. 2 in D minor for solo violin. It was a truly captivating start to the Opening Celebration compered by the boys from the Panto - Allan Stewart, Grant Stott and Jordan Young.

Lovely walk in Burdiehouse Burn Valley Park last night, and beginning to roll out @pawsonplastic.bsky.social’s Edinburgh campaign posters. Alas, no wildlife chose to put on a show, so here are the boys. And litter was collected. #litter #FriendsofBurdiehouseBurnValleyPark. #Edinburgh
My column from today’s Edinburgh Evening News. It’s a serious issue, but Edgelaw View homes should be fine. Completely different from the Limestone Moines emergency. #Gilmerton #Edinburgh #LimestoneMines app.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/story/donald...
Donald Anderson: Safe as houses – why Edgelaw View is no ‘Tumbledown Terrace’
The temporary evacuation of a small number of homes at Edgelaw View in Gilmerton has understandably caused anxiety for those affected. Memories of the dramatic collapse at Ferniehill Terrace in 2000 r...

@robcrank68.bsky.social #birdoftheday theme is #sittingdownonthejob. Has to be the Wren I encountered in the fabulous Little France Park in #Craigmillar, #Edinburgh. Plonked down on a reed. Such lovely things. #bird #birds
Sunset at the mouth of the River #Esk was lovely at the weekend. Such a lovely place for a walk. #Mussleburgh
Lean pickings for butterflies at Damhead near Traquair at the weekend, but amazingly on the walk back spotted a flash of green and thankfully it landed eventually. My first spotting of a Large Emerald on a sunny day. Go figure. #moth #moths #Traquair #ScottishBorders.
Long way off and lots of cropping, but lovely to see a Buzzard at Damhead near Traquair. #bird #birds #Traquair #ScottishBorders.
Great news from a great organisation. If you want a break from doomscrolling and negativity, just sign up to their bulletins. Fabulous as ever.

It was all about the Meadow Browns at Limefields beside Burdiehouse Burn Valley Park last night. #BBVP #BurdiehouseBurnValleyPark #Edinburgh #butterfly #butterflies

The Stonechats were on form last night on the wetlands at Little France Park in Craigmillar. Such lovely things and what an amazing park. #bird #birds #Edinburgh #Craigmillar
“Surely it shouldn't take children to keep dog-owners right on this topic [dog foul bags hanging from trees]” These school kids removed 150 bags.
Woodland Trust Scotland@wtscotsocial.bsky.social · 4w ago💩 One of life's great mysteries is why some people bag dog poo, but then abandon it rather than bin it. 🤔 These legends from Liff Primary School did a litter-pick at our Backmuir Wood near Dundee, and found most of the rubbish was bagged poo. 🧵 1/3
It was all about the Small Skippers at Limefield near Burdiehouse Burn Valley Park last night. The field was awash with them. #butterflies #butterfly #Burdiehouse #Edinburgh
Nether Liberton run through AI and colourised. Amazing to see some of the detail of Good’s Corner and the surrounding area. #Liberton #Edinburgh.
Small Skipper at Damhead near Traquair in the Scottish Borders.
Old Gilmerton. Drum Street looking west apparently. Looks more like north to me. Our forst home is just up on the left, and west facing garden was delightful. We made sure we had that for our two other homes.
