Happy
Did you know these remarkable birds can spend 10 months a year on the wing? They’re masters of flight - eating, sleeping, and even mating while flying, rarely touching the ground except to nest.
There are around 100 swift species worldwide, but populations are in decline and need our help.
More at https://www.worldswiftday.org/

Image description: �Chimney swift from J. J. Audubon’s Birds of America. Image shows two small, brownish-grey birds with long, curved, wings and very short tails with what looks like small spines protruding out of the tail-feather tips. Both birds are flying, one with its large mouth wide open to catch insects.
Also illustrated is a front and side view of its nest - a shallow, half-saucer cup constructed from loosely woven twigs stuck onto a vertical surface.

Happy !
Today, we celebrate our planet and think about the small ways we can support a more sustainable future.
Nature is our life support—providing the air we breathe and the food we eat. Connecting with nature is good for us and for nature. So, get outdoors, plant a tree, listen to bird song, or join a local clean up, every little helps.
And did you know? A puffin chick is called a “puffling.”

(1 – 30 June) - a month-long programme of events to celebrate Scotland's amazing geology.
The year’s theme - ‘300 years of Deep Time’ - coincides with the 300th anniversary of the birth of James Hutton, the father of modern geology.
This painting from the Paisley Museum collections shows Furnace Quarry at Loch Fyne which produced high-quality granite that paved the streets of Glasgow.
This granite, formed 415 – 400 million years ago, highlights part of the vast geological diversity of Scotland and the important role Scotland has played in the development of geological science.

Huge boulders lie strewn in the foreground and rail tracks lead away from the light-grey rock face indicating the transport needed to move the heavy stone.
