A little bit of fun with our friends at the National Trust for Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

We’re going for the Puffin ❤️

🏆 The Scottish Animal World Cup: matchday 8

Today’s match sees the slender Scotch burnet moth take on the Atlantic puffin. You decide who goes through to the next round, so get your votes in now!

‘Like’ for the slender Scotch burnet moth, ‘love’ for the Atlantic puffin.

The slender Scotch burnet moth is one of our Plan for Nature priority species. This striking day-flying moth, with its glossy black wings and red spots, can only be seen for a few weeks each June. It is incredibly rare, with the country's entire population confined to a handful of sites on Mull and Ulva - including Burg, the only Trust place where you can spot it.

Its opponent, and another one of our Plan for Nature priority species, is the Atlantic puffin. One of Scotland’s most recognisable seabirds, it's nicknamed the “clown of the sea” thanks to its colourful beak. It nests in burrows on grassy cliff tops and slopes, rather than on rocky ledges. Puffins may seem cheerful and tame around people, but they are hardy birds, spending most of the year out at sea in the North Atlantic. They've also received support through funding from The National Trust for Scotland Foundation USA. You might spot them at places in our care including St Kilda, Staffa and the Treshnish Isles.

This year’s competition is helping us shine a light on our Plan for Nature - our long-term commitment to protect and restore nature across the places in our care. From wetlands and woodlands to coasts, rivers and open landscapes, healthy habitats are vital if species like these are to thrive in the future.

So, who gets your vote? Voting for this match closes tomorrow.
