One of my satellite-tagged eagles, making one of the best decisions of its life....leaving the Angus Glens on the eve of the #Inglorious12th and heading west as fast as it can. Smart eagle.

Today is the start of the grouse shooting season. The 'glorious' 12th. Nothing glorious about killing animals for fun. Time to rewild the moors for the benefit of wildlife and climate.

It’s the #inglorious12th when toffs and City bankers start the grouse shooting season, dressing up in tweed and paying up to £5000 per day for the privilege. Moorland heather will have been burnt, many animals, raptors and corvids killed, all to boost grouse numbers. #raptorpersecution

Why would the start of a killing season be "Glorious"?
Hunting grouse for fun is not only cruel, it uses masses of land which could be in communities' hands.
Through the Land Reform Bill, the @scottishgreens.org will curb land use for bloodsports . #Inglorious12th
