The Guillemot takes the stage in today's #SpringArrivalSpotlight.
These sleek seabirds spend most of their life at sea, returning to our cliffsides in spring, where they nest in bustling colonies.
Watch them diving off high ledges into the sea below! 🌊

The rare Orkney Vole is on the rise! 😍
In the #SpringArrivalSpotlight today is the Tree Pipit.
Arriving from late March onwards, these small, brown birds charm us with parachuting flights: launching upwards before gliding to a treetop perch.
Listen out for their buzzy trilling in open woodlands and heathlands. 🌲
Nature, art and sound all come together in 'Remember Nature' at the Tate Modern this weekend... 🍃

The DJs of the reeds… hear the Sedge Warbler's rambling song in today’s #SpringArrivalSpotlight. 🎧
Look for their broad creamy eye-stripe and streaked back amidst the reed beds, celebrating their return in April with noisy warbles.

A Spring Arrival Spotlight swoops in to Wednesday: the agile House Martin! 😍
With glossy blue back & pure white belly, watch for their acrobatic flight as they collect insects and build mud nests under eaves.
Sadly on the Red List, these birds are a cherished summer migrant.

📢 Some great news from Orkney!
A new report shows Orkney Vole abundance last spring was the highest it's been since efforts to remove invasive non-native stoats began.
This small, elusive vole is found nowhere else and is threatened by the arrival of stoats (in 2010).
