2 cuckoos this morning doing battle in the Knockmealdowns-never heard such a variety of calls from them before. Light conditions were crap so these were best photos I could get @watbirds

[Glengarriff Woods NR @GlengarriffWood]

Lovely mention in today's @IrishTimes 'One such magical woodland is the 300ha Glengarriff Nature Reserve . . . it’s a rare snippet of how this land might have presented itself to the nation’s first settlers, now offering up some gorgeous 1km to 5km trails' https://t.co/iNGN45j74V

[The Irish Breeding Curlew EIP @CurlewEIP]

Delighted to confirm we have 3 breeding pairs in our South Leitrim Bogs area! Plus a singleton or two that we haven't pinned down yet flitting from bog to bog

.@AnimationITT students have produced a wonderful short film about 'The Lost Bond' between humans and #wildlife, a story illustrated by the plight of #curlew.
Hopefully reaching a screen near you this year.

An adult Glaucous gull (Larus hyperboreus), Tralee Bay Wetland Centre in early April. One of the largest gull species and a true northerner ('hyper boreal'). This individual stayed about a week before moving on, presumably northwards!

@AlexaBradley22 @annedcourtney75 Hi Alexa,
Yes and no. Both are small islands off the west coast with lots of wildlife. Skellig Michael is bigger, has soil, vegetation and built structures on it. Little Skellig is all rock, with gannets (mainly) & other seabirds nesting on the bare rock

Sorting out Hyacinthoides spp in Ballyseedy wood.
H.hispanica and H.non-scripta together made for good learning, though not great for the wood.
(No non-scipta were damaged in the process! 🙂 )
