A wonderful interaction between a curlew sitting on eggs, and an oystercatcher. I wonder what each is saying (or trying to say)

A pair of Common Tern has recently been seen displaying on our newly created island in the Borrow Dyke. Cork Harbour supports an important breeding population of this species, & it looks like we may have given them one more breeding location option 😊 #builditandtheywillcome
Here's a nice clip from our live stream of Sand Martin burrow 19 this am. They are visiting the nest chamber in the mornings, spending some time snoozing, preening each other and having some serious sounding chats 🤗 🔗 to live cameras are pinned 👆
Heard a recent RTE interview from Jack Chambers blaming judicial review for failures in flood relief projects

Just 3 projects, out of approx 150, were subject to judicial review

Every 90 minutes, someone in the UK or Ireland dies by suicide. We can all make a difference by checking in on those around us.

UN emergency coordinator @TFletcher says people should read the IPC report about the Israeli-made famine in Gaza "in sorrow and in anger."
"Be in no doubt that this is irrefutable testimony. It is a famine that we could have prevented."
It is a famine "that strips people of dignity before it strips them of life. That forces a parent to choose which child to feed."
"It is a famine openly promoted by some Israeli leaders as a weapon of war."
It is a famine "caused by cruelty, justified by revenge, enabled by indifference, and sustained by complicity."
