A new paper in the Environmental Impact Assessment Review journal investigates how vessel noise prior to pile driving at #OffshoreWind farm sites deters harbour porpoises from potential injury zones. Read the study here 👉 loom.ly/nxY2QtE

It's been a year since 'Mar'verick, a satellite-tagged white-tailed eagle chick left Mar Lodge. We thought it would be interesting to share his movements. He's travelled far and wide visiting Arran, Ullapool, Mallaig and Fife but has concentrated his time in the north Cairngorms

Fantastic to get a golden #eagle on our trailcam. These birds are large, with a wingspan of 204-220cm and with females weighing in at 3.8-6.6kg. Eagles feed on live prey and carrion with typical prey species being rabbits, hares, grouse and seabirds (at coast).

📢NEW #LHSciencePaper in @FrontMarineSci!
#HarbourPorpoises
✅ are attracted to offshore structures
✅ forage around structures, especially at night 🌜🐟
✅ modify their ☀️🌜 behaviour when structures are present

It's always inspiring to see positive change in a landscape.
@JohnMuirTrust dug out this fascinating photo. By reducing grazing pressure from sheep & increasing deer management, native woodland along one of Scotland's best known glens is regenerating to a more natural state.

The original beast from the east was pretty devastating for shags. Currently a 4 metre swell in the outer Forth which will prevent them feeding. As @Cramondbirder says please report any ringed birds #ornithology @_BTO @nature_scot
This doesn’t look good for some feathered friends of mine!! aka the charismatic & quite magnificent European Shag. The last Beast fi the East decimated the breeding population, here’s hoping thou not looking good. Pls report any dead/ringed birds to @UKCEHseabirds

Celebrating #WomenInScience Day the #LighthouseCrew are excited to announce the launch of #LHScienceWomen. In 2021 we’ll be highlighting women that are a key part of the past-present-future research and teaching @CromartyLH - Watch this space!
