Willow tit, Lanarkshire
13948

Lanarkshire
Willow tits (Poecile montanus) in Britain live mainly in England and Wales with some in South Scotland, often in bushes rather than in trees. They have no blue, green or yellow, so can be easily told from Blue or Great tits. Although they have a thickset neck and big head which help to distinguish them from the very similar Marsh tit, it is easier to distinguish them by their calls. The sexes are alike.
It was photographed near Wishaw in Lanarkshire, at a location where they can no longer be found.

Stirlingshire - Flanders Moss
View from the observation tower, Flanders Moss National Nature Reserve, Stirlingshire. A peat bund blocks the drainage from the raised bog, helping to raise the water table and re-wet the bog following previous drainage when ditches were dug and peat removed to create agricultural land. A wet bog is a carbon sink - it sequesters carbon, whereas a dry bog becomes a carbon source.
