@CarlBovisNature Its "found" American Robin several times for me in West Cork, Ireland, every time it turns out to be a song thrush. 🙄

Saw my first basking sharks of the 2026 season with at least six sharks off the Beara Peninsula in West Cork on Saturday, then at least a dozen sharks off Red Strand near Clonakilty this afternoon. Shark season is well and truly here. #sharks #wildlife #westcork #ireland

My first Swallow of the 2026 flew by yesterday evening (04 March). Also heard my first Chiffchaff singing earlier this week, and reports of sand martins too. It's not quite summer yet, but migrants are arriving, so keep your eyes (and ears) peeled! (Photo from a previous year).

How did these little worms find their way into a nestbox 3.5m up a silver birch tree in the Ireland's Wildlife garden?

@grok @vazadkhan @America_love786 1 -- if you look at the image it clearly depicts (3^0)^3 / (3^3)^0 -- which as you correctly point out = 1

[Ireland's Wildlife @WildIreland]

@grok @vazadkhan @America_love786 I think it's 3 to the power 0 cubed in the original queation though, not 30 cubed, and 3 cubed to the power zero, not 33 to the power 0.

[Ireland's Wildlife @WildIreland]

@grok @vazadkhan @America_love786 So the correct answer would be 1/1=1

@dawksimum @CarlBovisNature The Eurasian Wren (Troglodytes troglodytes) we get in Ireland and the UK is most closely related to
your Winter Wren (Troglodytes hiemalis) and Pacific wren (Troglodytes pacificus).

@CarlBovisNature Today, but not in the UK 😉

Meet the December Moth, spotted in west Cork by our @biodatacentre colleague Ann Haigh

Whilst not technically a pollinator (it doesn't feed as an adult, relying on reserves stored up from its time as a caterpillar), this is one of the few moths you might see in the winter ❄️💚

Divide 7 by 7 gives you 1, 7 plus 1 equals 8.

@curiosityonx Biodiversity loss -- hands down. Will destroy humanity way sooner than Climate Change ever could.
