@NatureNymph @limosa20 @BBurke88 Place you may be thinking of near Urlingford is The Loughans, also great for duck and gulls.

[des finnamore @desfinnamore]

@limosa20 @NatureNymph @BBurke88 Understand it may be called Baun.

[des finnamore @desfinnamore]

@limosa20 @NatureNymph @BBurke88 Was a regular visitor to this site until lockdown but now banned as I live in south Laois. Great for duck with the Whoopers being part of the mobile south Laois/north Kilkenny flocks.

@ZwartblesIE @YouTube @LiamLy @MayoCorncrake77 @Irishwildlife @ireland_farming @morsinead Think they moved to neighbouring south Laois instead!!

@davidkerr67 @DarraghScott @greenparty_ie @fiannafailparty Failure of many Greens to recognise that 35% of their 1st preferences came from previous FG https://t.co/iKNSynI0vP many would have been elected without that block of votes.

@RickyWhelan @abbeyleixbog No, Pheasant to me.

@LiamLy @PaulCXBI Strong Yellowhammer population in my mixed farming area of south Laois with lots of arable crops but Stock Doves are a rarity. Is nesting the big issue?

@MayoCorncrake77 Three consecutive nights of significant frost seems to have hit ash hard but also other plants.

@BrennanMartine @BSBIbotany @wildflower_hour @ukorchids Well done Martine.
