Not as classically attractive as the animals whos waste they dispose of, dung beetles are nonetheless essential to systems like the Maasai Mara National Reserve where we filmed this beauty displaying its flying skills.
So big they sound like mini helicopters!

Heres a little piece I did on pond building for Future Island a while ago.
If you like the idea of creating a wonderful resource for biodiversity in your garden NOW IS THE TIME!
Winter is a perfect time to bang in a pond, ready for spring.
Follow this thread for pond info...🐸

Any marine invertebrate folk know what this is? Filmed by a member of the public at Ballyquin Beach near Ardmore Co. Waterford.
I haven't a notion.

@cormac_mcginley @BarryByrneIRL Such a head scratcher!

[Collie Ennis 🕷🐸 @collieennis]

@BarryByrneIRL @cormac_mcginley @cormac_mcginley bro, any ideas?

[Collie Ennis 🕷🐸 @collieennis]

@TcipS77 Appreciate it. I will always go for human expertise though.

[Collie Ennis 🕷🐸 @collieennis]

@McCarthysDairy @CarlowWeather Hate taxes on people not responsible for climate change and hate data centers. Couldn't agree more with you on that. My initial point was about the denial that the climate is changing due to human activity.

[Collie Ennis 🕷🐸 @collieennis]

@McCarthysDairy @CarlowWeather Two separate issues.

[Collie Ennis 🕷🐸 @collieennis]

I know 1 weather event never proves climate change. What matters is the long term trends. As someone who spends a life outdoors, I see changes in species, seasons & habitats, but those observations also need to line up with the wider scientific evidence. Unortunately, they do.

Ahhh sure its just the regular summer weather lads.... nothing to see here.

[Carlow Weather @CarlowWeather]

Few more clips of tornado in Galway today including second one that shows where it hit the ground.

[Collie Ennis 🕷🐸 @collieennis]

@rtenews And this... but sure it's all normal summer weather, right lads?

We’re spending billions figuring out how to cool our cities while cutting down the technology that’s been doing it for free for millions of years

Birds only sing when they feel safe, thus signaling on a deep, cellular level that you are safe too. Their frequencies calm the nervous system, lowering cortisol and anxiety. Birdsong is nature’s medicine.
