It's Heritage Week! Tomorrow, we'll be talking chough in Cliffoney, Co Sligo

On Thursday, the excellent Michael Bell talks about the Dragonflys and Damselflys of Sligo and Leitrim in Ballinamore, Co. Leitrim

Please come along to learn more about either of these topics :)

[ACRES Breifne @ACRESBreifne]

A great event for Breifne farmers and farmers from other CPs and beyond to learn from each other 😀

[ACRES Breifne @ACRESBreifne]

This important message applies not just to breeding waders, but other ground nesting birds across the country. Please avoid important habitats for sensitive bird species, especially with dogs. This avoids disturbing livestock too.

[ACRES Breifne @ACRESBreifne]

With many of the commonages scored at this stage, it's been great to see scores increasing because of the efforts of ACRES Breifne farmers helping to tackle dumping on commonages https://t.co/gY4ubPlh3T #agriland

[ACRES Breifne @ACRESBreifne]

This is an essential element of ACRES CP that we are looking forward to finally engage with farmers on. We'll be in touch with all ACRES Breifne farmers in the next few weeks.

This picture depicts a devastating scene that conservationists are seeing up and down the country this breeding season.

Lots of hard work is going into protecting these birds; working with farmers, landowners, and collaboration with other conservation groups.

We are now pleading with the public to assist us in a measure we can’t control, the threat from loose domestic pets on important breeding grounds.

Some awesome images from one of our trail cameras.

Corncrakes are notoriously shy birds so we are pretty sure this one was show-boating.😁

Early indications suggest an excellent year for the Irish population- great news in our last season as a project 🙏

With the support of @NPWSIreland
we have secured one of Irelands most important corncrake breeding sites in Co. Mayo.

The entire 20 acre site is now managed in cooperation with our neighbors and is fortified with a predator control fence.
