Celebrating our Wild Ways Well participants

, by Paul Barclay
Last week the Wild Ways Well Thursday group embarked upon our first ever celebration trip with a sense of trepidation. It was in the aftermath of Storm Ali so there was much checking of the weather reports in the run up as we prepared to set off to the Scottish Wildlife Trust’s Loch Ardinning reserve, just north of Glasgow.

The Wild Ways Well Week

, by Paul Barclay
We had a bit of a surprise with the Open group this week, you may remember that last week we placed a camera trap on a badger sett in the hope of getting some film evidence of these awesome animals sharing our woodlands.  We checked the trap after a couple of days and were delighted to find that we had…
