@scotneycastleNT tonight has a Paul Simon tribute act tonight. When they started to play songs from the Graceland album, it brought back memories aged 7, going to the beach in Ghana in my Dads Range Rover (below). I miss those days.
An interview I did with Rob Smith for a Kent Wildlife Trust podcast. Highlighting what we are doing at Scotney Castle
🎙️🆕In episode 10 of Talk on the Wild Side, @TVRobSmith takes a tour of @scotneycastleNT. This site is home to 300 acres of SSSI, ancient woodland, farmland, formal gardens and, of course, a castle.
All areas are managed for the benefit of nature.

A sad find today at one of @scotneycastleNT satellite sites Sprivers, the #rangers found a dead young Grass Snake. I assume it is a young one as it is the smallest one I have ever found. Something had eaten the left eye. @KentRAG @ARC_Bytes #horsmonden #highweald
Another week and another success. I love in my work blending traditional ways of managing habitats and new ways. This week Shire Horses from Oakwood Clydesdales came to @scotneycastleNT to chain harrow the hay meadows. They be back in the summer to cut the hay meadows.
Here is a video of these majestic animals on the Spring Walk meadow. @RangerCMA @HighWealdNL #rangers #heavyhorses #wildflowemeadows
One of my proudest moments of being a ranger in 17 years of being a #ranger for the @nationaltrust getting rare breed cattle grazing on the parkland @scotneycastleNT again. It was such a team effort to get them here. @KentWildlife @HighWealdNL @RangerCMA @southeastNT #longhorns

Final site checks by Scotney ranger, Mark & Alison from @KentWildlife ready for the arrival of 15 Sussex & Longhorn cows who will help manage the grassland with their ‘twist and pull’ #grazing technique, removing poor-quality vegetation and boosting #biodiversity. @southeastNT

So after the work experience student from @Hadlow_College and I spent 4 hours replacing a gate post @southeastNT @scotneycastleNT that we would spend our time looking at #trees. First stop these amazing #beechtrees in the old Pinetum. #TreeClub @highweald #fungi @RangerCMA
Good afternoon @AvantiWestCoast
I have been trying for the past few weeks to book #sailrail tickets from London to Dublin for the first week in August but, tickets keep saying unavailable. Has #sailrail been discontinued?

This day in 1812 Spencer Perceval became the only Prime Minister to be assassinated. It's the LEAST interesting thing about him.
With his frenemy James Stephen he engineered one of the first bans on slavery in British territory. And he did it WITHOUT parliamentary approval /1 🧵
ALT man with pulled back, neat hair in 19th century outfit. It's Spencer Perceval.
Pictures from a #ranger at work @nationaltrust @scotneycastleNT on a extremely busy B/H Sunday. I had a break helping visitors underneath one of the old Redwoods found here. #TreeClub @RangerCMA
A lovely #sunrise @nationaltrust @scotneycastleNT this morning. A prelude to a very busy day at work. @southeastNT @highweald @RangerCMA
