A fine morning yesterday for our black grouse lek count and great to record an increase in our number of lekking males. This was due to an increase of some of our known leks but also the recent discovery of two new lek sites. Hopefully this upturn occurs elsewhere too. @N_T_S
One last push for our Open Day tomorrow, 10 till 3. We hope to see you there! Please note that refreshments on sale will be CASH ONLY. Dogs on leads are welcome in the grounds, ballroom and Craggan Room, but aren't permitted in the historic rooms/tour inside the lodge itself.
One minute of Ring Ouzel delightfulness. Lucky enough to capture this male singing his heart out. Our first Ring Ouzel recorded this year at Mar Lodge. @N_T_S #mountainbirds
Lovely to come across this black adder on Tuesday. You can see how it has flattened its body to get more warmth from the sun. Melanistic adders like this are fairly common at Mar Lodge - do let us know if you see one in the estate (but don't get too close!)
Interesting to see how the regeneration around isolated pines balloons out on the side of the tree opposite to the prevailing wind. With a prevailing SW wind the regeneration is on the NE side of the tree. Highlights how seed source influences the distribution of regeneration.
Some of our friends & neighbours on Deeside have been very busy pulling this together over recent weeks, and we're delighted to be a part of it. Our two events can be booked on Eventbrite via eventbrite.co.uk/o/mar-lodge-es…
Stunning evening light in Glen Quoich tonight nicely highlighting the advancing natural tree regeneration. #rewilding #ecologicalrestoration @ScotlandTBP @N_T_S
Good to make a visit to our 2022 peatland restoration site today. The work is successfully re-wetting the area, and great to see moss developing in some of the bare peat areas treated with mulch. Highlight of the day was a pair of wigeon hopefully enjoying the improving habitat.
A reminder we will be holding our annual Open Day on Sunday 28th April. 10am till 3pm. All are welcome. See the Eventbrite link for full details: eventbrite.co.uk/e/open-day-mar…
Somewhat wild day yesterday in Coire Sputan Dearg looking at this years montane willow planting sites. Lochan Uaine was looking a bit intimidating in the murky light with the winter ice now breaking up. #munros @walkhighlands @N_T_S
Had a trail cam out recently down by the river Dee and here's a wee selection of the residents that it captured. Not quite up to the trail cam footage I have seen from places like Yellowstone but interesting all the same.
Due to a late cancellation, we have two spaces available on tomorrow's walk & tour of Mar Lodge. Book your place at: eventbrite.co.uk/e/afternoon-wa…
After several nights of trying finally managed to capture (badly) one of our local woodcock roding - not an easy task. Lovely to watch this bird as it patrols the skies and competes with the other males for airspace and to attract a female.
This photo sums up the weather today at Mar Lodge. April showers and rainbows a plenty. Beautiful in between the showers but very wet, cold and miserable in them. @visitabdn @VisitCairngrms #AprilShowers
Great to catch up with ptarmigan. You can see how well camouflaged this species is - it is easy to walk past them without noticing them! Ptarmigan are found across all the high ground at Mar Lodge, but this species is at risk in Scotland, and was put on the UK red list in 2021.
Picked up this nice footage of a pine marten on a trailcam this week. You get a great view of the throat patch which varies between individuals and can be used to identify different pine martens. @Mammal_Society @N_T_S #mammals
Fantastic conditions to be out on the tops on Easter Sunday. For those interested in long-lasting snow patches, here's a photo of the Sphinx patch which sits below Braeriach. This was previously almost guaranteed to last all year, but has melted in each of the last 3 years.
Beinn Bhreac is a small rounded hill and doesn't look the most exciting but it offers some great views back to the main Cairngorms massif on a beautiful day like today. Always nice to drop into the pinewood at the end of the day as well. #munros #winterwalking
Two days learning about the remarkable world of Sphagnum moss. They play a vital role in the creation of peat bogs, they provide high quality water, they support distinctive communities and are a window into the past. Their value to us should not be under estimated. #peatland
The wintry weather continued today with a fair dump of snow. It's already melting in the glens but might hang on a bit longer higher up!

Good days to get out in the hills seem few and far between this early in the season. Roll on the long summer days ☀️
Been a few years since I managed to time a visit to see my granny with the peak flowering of toothwort (Lathraea squamaria) along the Dollar Burn. c50 spikes found, mostly along the bank but a few popping up in the grass, hopefully they won't be mown but won't hold my breath.
Really good view of some of our birch natural regen (about 50 acres in total in this block) very close to the boundary with my neighbour. You can actually see the boundary line quite clearly. In the @cairngormsnews
Sgor Gaoith yesterday (March 30). #Cairngorms
@MarLodgeNTS It’s long slog of a walk too but worth it
@MarLodgeNTS Sounds like a cliche...but I was once at the summit of Beinn Bhreac and the complete silence was ...deafening. Not a sound. Not even running water or wind. Have never forgotten it.
#HaysWay began with a visit to @MarLodgeNTS this week. I met with the estate's head David Frew and ranger @CountrysideBen for a wander up the hill. The sound of the waders echoing up the valley during my visit is still with me 🎶 @TheScotsman
I highly recommend @PaintingAndrew's book Regeneration about #rewilding on @MarLodgeNTS which includes large tracts of the #Cairngorms. Informative, fascinating and beautifully written. @PolygonBooks #WorldRewildingDay

Another welcome sign of spring...frogspawn in the moat at HQ! 🐸
Today's update from the office - we have frogspawn in the moat! This is part of the drainage system at @NatureScot's Inverness office, along with a lovely pond that supports toads, dragonflies and other wildlife. A great example of the value SuDS can have for biodiversity.
