🚜All the wrong kind of drama today... Picture this: fields with curlew chicks hiding being cut for silage! Enter Bruce, our cool curlew champion contractor. With a thermal drone, and a crew of fabulous farmers and volunteers, a dashing (sic) rescue was orchestrated. 1/

Our Cuala Senior Camogie Team lined out in their shorts last night for their match against Raheny, continuing the protest against skorts being mandatory.

Camogie Players deserve the right to choose between wearing a skort or shorts- player welfare must come first.

@nypl @nyplshop I had no idea the lions were the inspiration for this amazing book. Having lived in NYC for a few years. NYC library was my local. I’m a teacher in Ireland and read this book regularly. I always taught the illustration looked like them. I’ve told the children about them. ❤️

Anyone out there come across this hurl at Ballinesker beach in #Wexford. Would be great to see this kid get it back. 🤞

This centuries old magnificent life-giving and life-supporting oak tree is being felled TOMORROW for no good reason... 🤬
If only some nature lovers lived near Crumlin & could be there in the morning to let the council see the error of their ways...

@CarlBovisNature My garden in Wicklow has plenty of Siskins this year. Along with Goldfinches. To the extent I’ve had to buy more Nyjar seed feeders to assist with air traffic control. We have our first Redpolls this year. Birds and @CarlBovisNature are amazing.

When God created woman he was working late on the 6th day.

An angel came by and asked, “Why spend so much time on her?"

The Lord answered, “Have you seen all the specifications I have to meet to shape her?

She must function in all kinds of situations. She must be able to embrace several kids at the same time.

Have a hug that can heal anything from a bruised knee to a broken heart.

She must do all this with only two hands.

She cures herself when sick and can work 18 hours a day.”

The angel was impressed, "Just two hands...impossible! And this is the standard model?"

The angel came closer and touched the woman. “But you have made her so soft, Lord."

"She is soft", said the Lord,
"But I have made her strong. You can't imagine what she can endure and overcome."

"Can she think?" The angel asked.

The Lord answered, "Not only can she think, she can reason and negotiate."

The angel touched her cheeks. “Lord, it seems this creation is leaking! You have put too many burdens on her."

"She is not leaking...it is a tear" the Lord corrected the angel.

"What's it for?" Asked the angel.

The Lord said, “Tears are her way of expressing her grief, her doubts, her love, her loneliness, her suffering and her pride."

This made a big impression on the angel, “Lord, you are a genius. You thought of everything. A woman is indeed marvellous!"

Lord said, “Indeed she is.

She has strength that amazes a man. She can handle trouble and carry heavy burdens. She holds happiness, love and opinions.

She smiles when she feels like screaming. She sings when she feels like crying. Cries when happy and laughs when afraid.

She fights for what she believes in.

Her love is unconditional.
Her heart is broken when a next-of-kin or a friend dies but she finds strength to get on with life."

The angel asked: "So she is a perfect being?"

The Lord replied, "No. She has just one drawback...she often forgets what she is worth.”

@MaryTourAmerica Mind yourself Mary. Grief has a sneaky way of creeping up on you. I’ll light a candle for you.💕

A murmuration of Starlings at Dysart, Lough Ennell, Westmeath

It took a few weeks to capture this particular shot, lots and lots of patience but the stars aligned last week and delighted with the result, probably my favourite non sporting image of 2023
