This summary will come as no surprise to anyone who has read the report I co-authored with Andy Wightman for the REVIVE coalition in 2018 about the increased intensity of grouse moor management in Scotland, a report in which Millden Estate featured. This increase in management intensity has occurred in the last decade or so because the so-called ‘success’ of a grouse moor (and its economic value) is measured by the number of red grouse shot each season (known as the ‘bag size’).

Modelling shows that if we continue on current trajectory, global heating will drive a cascade of extinctions in plants and animals

A fella snorkeling 600 km north of cairns has managed to prize a crocodile off his head, separating its jaws. As you do.
The bbc website then goes on to give details of the exclusive island you can hire for 7000 dollars a night if you too wish to have a croc attached to your Heid..
The Kingsknowe Rat was dead on the canal towpath at Kingsknowe this evening.
A young brown spotted gull scurrying around an industrial estate. Its wings weren't developed enough to fly and I imagine it will come to an unpleasant end.
Oh, and something ate the suet pellets that I leave out for ground feeding birds and vomited them up - a cat presumably. I don't appreciate my paving looking like a Lothian Road pavement early Sunday morning.
The Kingsknowe Rat was dead on the canal towpath at Wester Hailes this morning, lying on its back and partly dismembered. I also spotted a dead pigeon by the towpath near Hermiston House.
My garden continues in its role as the killing fields of Midlothian. Today's discovery might be a dead pigeon, but I can't quite tell because half of it is missing.
Its counterpart, a short way along the path through the nearby park, has also entirely ceased to be and is no more than a collection of feathers.
I forgot to reassure everyone that The Kingsknowe Rat was alive and well, scurrying across the canal towpath ahead of me on Tuesday evening as I approached the Scott Russell Aqueduct.
A dead cormorant floating on the canal west of the bypass.
I saw that story mentioned on the elephant site and had to stop reading. What the absolute [rule 2][rule 2][rule 2] are we doing to this place?
Flat rat by tram tracks at the Haymarket
Woman showing her child a squirrel lying dead on a wall at West Coates. There were no marks on the squirrel to show how it had died. I saw it yesterday and today - I hope someone buries it soon.
The Kingsnowe Rat went out to the festival but felt a bit flat afterwards?

Doug Parr, policy director at Greenpeace UK, said: “Who would look at our sickly, sewage-infested rivers and conclude that what they need is weaker pollution rules? No one, and that should include our government. Scrapping or weakening limits on chemicals from sewage and farm run-offs would be a sure sign that ministers have completely given up on saving our great waterways and the precious wildlife they host.
