The Bho Bheul an Eòin (From the Bird’s Mouth) by artist @derek_artist, has given Gaelic names to 40 of Scotland’s recently arrived species.

Amongst the newly-coined names is lach-dhubh tuinne - for the Surf Scoter. Literally meaning “black duck of the wave”. #WorldGaelicWeek

#FlyFriday: The Lance fly, Lonchaea fraxina, is 1 of a just few British species exclusively associated with dead Ash trees (Fraxinus excelsior). With Ash dieback killing off our trees, this fly may benefit temporarily, but it’s future long-term looks uncertain. #YearOfTheFly

This week for #FlyFriday we bring you a MALE blowfly (Calliphoridae): Cynomya mortuorum. Referred to as the Yellow-faced blowfly, and also “fly of the dead” due to it’s association with carrion. #CarrionInsects #YearOfTheFly

This sculpture in our collections by Andy Goldsworthy is made entirely form the bones of a pilot #whale that stranded off the Northumberland coast in 1997. #MarineMammalMonday #MarineMammals #Mammals
