Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme set by @robcrank68.bsky.social is #Paridae, any of the species.
Most years we go to the #cairngorms for a week. One of the highlights is wandering through the #Abernethy forest searching for crested tits. We are back in December so fingers crossed!

Four recent camps with Tony Hobbs in Glen Feshie, Glen Geldie, Glen Dee, and Rothiemurchus Forest, Cairngorms. Mostly wet and windy weather - sometimes very windy! #Cairngorms #wildcamping

Two green backpacking tents in a forest.

Have Hattie & Alfie spotted Seath Mòr's Ghost in the haunted Rothiemurchus Forest?
Fleeing from his spectral challenge leads to doom, but stand your ground and he will vanish in peace

Two Border Terriers surrounded by purple heather bushes in an ancient Caledonian pine forest. They are standing with alert expressions, looking into the distance with their heads turned to the left of the picture.
Taken on an August day at Rothiemurchus Forest, Cairngorms National Park, Scotland.
Behind them on the right is the bottom of a Scots Pine tree.
The background is blurred with purple heather bushes, trees and green vegetation.
The haunted Forest of Rothiemurchus in the Scottish Highlands shelters the cursed grave of 14th-century Clan Shaw chief Seath Mòr Sgòrfhiaclach and the ruins of Loch an Eilein Castle.
Seath Mòr's Ghost is a tall, fearsome chieftain and is said to haunt the deep pinewoods, appearing to wanderers who stray too far off the path. Folklore warns that fleeing from his spectral challenge leads to doom, while standing your ground and accepting causes him to vanish in peace.
Seath Mòr’s resting place in the old kirkyard of St Tuchaldus features five cylindrical "homing stones" on top of the tomb. Legend says they are guarded by Bodach an Duin (the Goblin of the Doune), a spirit that punishes anyone who touches or steals the stones with sudden death or severe misfortune.
A heavy wrought-iron cage was placed over the grave in the 1980s to stop visitors from tampering with the stones after centuries of local eerie occurrences and ghostly sightings in the surrounding pinewoods.

Certainly.

(Inappropriate recourse to tree planting over supporting natural regeneration is a problem often apparent in #Scotland, even in the #Cairngorms.

A recent sad case was noted in the newsletter of the Cairngorms Campaign) @rspbscotland.bsky.social @severincarrell.bsky.social

This breakthrough method replaces hundreds of hours of physical ground surveys to transform how nature restoration is tracked at scale.
