Taylor ain’t the only swift in town. delighted that the new swift nest boxes that @ConnectingCabra put up on the church are attracting lots of interest & better still we have a pair nesting in the roof space. Sound on to hear those #Swifties scream #TaylorSwift @BirdWatchIE

@whittledaway @phoenixparkOPW Maybe if they followed @PollinatorPlan advice and removed the grass and not just mulch mow 100’s of acres every autumn. Simples….

Had a fantastic time at @ConnectingCabra 's Biodiversity Festival!
Well done on such a great event 👏💚
It was inspiring to hear about the new Swifts project plus all of the other exciting things happening — including the Biodiversity Box initiative, wildlife pond & much more.

Ardnacrusha Hydroelectric Station last week when ESB was abstracting 97.2% of the flow in the Lower River Shannon SAC. Lampreys are currently migrating and follow the water upstream along a 2.4 km tailrace to this dam. They get trapped here as there are no fish passes for them, and many perish without ever spawning. This is a largely hidden problem, and @ESBGroup never mentions lampreys - apart from the misinformation about Annacotty Weir they included in their last annual report (see previous post). There are many immediate measures that ESB could take to help lampreys - for example, reducing the water abstraction at the key times when lampreys are migrating. ESB operations have a major impact on #biodiversity but they are not even mentioned in the latest 'Biodiversity Action Plan'.

🚨 We may be one step closer to finding the first flapper skate nursery in Irish waters, all thanks to the power of community science! 🚨 (1/8)

Not quite sure how this happened (well I do thanks @KennyCaitriona and my other half for nominating me & bigging me up) On our way down to Limerick for the @voluntireland Awards. I am very honoured to have been short listed in the environmental and animal care category.

Some of our members this evening at a great workshop in the Mansion House with Dean Eaton from @DubCityCouncil about the exciting new Community Climate Action Fund and the @LEVERS_IE project.

More importantly, there was a throne . . . .
