Stunning morning today around Arthur Seat. We saw then heard a Common Redstart, who checked us out but took flight before I could try to take a photo. The Merlin app confirmed this rare wee bird. #Birds #ScottishBirds

Here's my analysis of yesterday's Supreme Court judgement on the interpretation of the Equality Act, digging into the detail of what the judges missed and why the whole matter is more complicated than it might at first appear to be. bylines.scot/society/are-... 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈👩⚖️
Are some women more equal than others?

My autism has given me a love for nature, where I feel free and calm. Whether it's the beach or the woods, it's where I connect with the world in my own way.

Five years ago, wewalked around Arthur's Seat every morning stopping to assist the toads on their #ToadMigration The early days of lockdown had everyone running or cycling around the hill to save their sanity, but for me the toads were more important 🐸 x.com/sallymiranda...

1. One of capitalism’s greatest successes is to shut down our imaginations. With the help of its favoured tools - neoliberalism and fascism - it persuades us that “there is no alternative”. Our first task is to re-ignite our moral imaginations and name our alternatives. 🧵

I heard then saw a Skylark this morning at Lauristin Farm while on the Birdsong Survey Walk with Prof. John Frank. We heard and identified 35 birds in total thanks to the ID skills of a young lad Felix that came along

Heard the Song Thrush for the first time this year - what a song! Watched tree surgeons remove the Elm they felled a couple of days ago, with a hydraulic arm on a tractor. "Diseased, it had to go"

I'm delighted to be working from home this week writing reports. Not least because it means I can get out on these cold but gloriously sunny mornings for a walk around Arthur Seat with the Merlin App, listen to the birds and look out for toads 💚
