The @phoenixparkOPW was delighted to host a talk by Gary Timbrell of @iaf_falconry as part of @HeritageWeek The conservation of the Peregrine Falcon in midst of #DDT declines in the 20th Century began with captive breeding by falconers ! Why not visit the exhib for more details !

The Irish Hawking Club in assoc w/@iaf_falconry held an illustrated lecture on #Falconry - Intangible Cultural Heritage of Ireland, at the @phoenixparkOPW Visitor Centre as part of #HeritageWeek2023. The Park was formed in 1662 as a royal hunting & Hawking park. @UNESCO @HAWhiteK

[Phoenix Park @phoenixparkOPW]

The Irish Hawking Club was reformed in 1967, & led the effort to have #Falconry inscribed by @UNESCO on national list of Intangible Cultural Heritage. The sucess of Peregrine Falcon conservation inspired efforts to save endangered birds like the #CalifornianCondor ! @HAWhiteK

Not the easiest of listens, but this week's Bird Flu episode deserves your attention! Niall, Steve, & Brian speak knowledgeably and empathetically about the impact of avian flu on our seabirds, a disease which needs more focus from those in government! 🔗 https://t.co/ugkgopApnn

Wonderful news!! Ospreys breeding again in Ireland for the first time in 200 years.

Nature doesn't have to be constantly retreating, dying off. It can come back.

It's *our* choice which we want.

One of my favourite things about Kestrel cam over the past three years has been watching the co-parental relationship between both male & female all through the incubation period - even if the male sometimes doesn’t quite fit on all the eggs!

[BirdWatch Ireland @BirdWatchIE]

We know that roads (esp major roads) pose a serious threat to Barn Owls but this is the first time we have recorded an entire brood killed on roads, 3 chicks ringed at a Cork nest in July 2020, all subsequently found dead on roads, the most recent on the M8 motorway this month

Great to chat to Matt Smith, @rayofoghlu and @ManchanMagan of @hometree__ for yesterday's @TheSundayIndo about its marvellously ambitious Atlantic Rainforest project.

@garrettmurphy @IrishRaptorSG Sorry for late reply, Gareth. Are you 100% sure it is a hen harrier? Might there be any photos to confirm?

[Irish Raptor Conservancy @IrishRaptorCon1]

This is a fascinating and extensive exhibition charting the ancient and mutually beneficial relationship between man and raptor. There will also be a falconry display taking place on Saturday 13th as part of @HeritageWeek. @UNESCOEU @iaf_falconry @IrishRaptorSG @DeptCulturelRL

[Hilary White @HAWhiteK]

Lithuania has driven home how ravaged the Irish countryside is. Skies here noisy with larks, martins, swifts. So much richness everywhere - yellowhammers, redstarts, marsh harriers, lapwings, etc. Lots of space for nature through agricultural land. What I'm not seeing? Livestock.
