@SwordsExpress 14:22 servive from holywell did not show. Can we expect the next bus to show?
There is no shelter from the rain!

[Carlow Weather @CarlowWeather]

Wow wow wow! Can be seen with the naked eye now. Go outside and take a look at the Northern Lights.

@IamBalusa She taught us all so much about ourselves and how to be a decent honest human! I got more from her than any therapy could provide 🤣❤️

Just a thought.

Why has the grass verge at Pinnock Hill, which was teeming with pyramid orchids last year, been mown recently? Just before the orchids flower. Same opposite the TravelLodge entrance @Fingalcoco
Pointless to be planting flowers and mowing the ones already there. #biodiversity

[The Bee Guy @the_beeguy]

People asking us about the very small #bumblebees they’ve encountered (if they’re lucky this year!😔) over the past few weeks.
Wanting to know if they are a specific species.
So here’s a brief thread to explain what they are.
Please #retweet if you find it interesting.

@mir_ocall If you ask beaumont hospital they will tell you it doesn't exist! Just ptsd and pre-existing conditions. Complete denial of post viral illnesses.
Nothing to worry about, apparently.

[Planet in Crisis @Climate_issues]

I decided to do a short thread, with references, explaining why artificial grass is terrible... 🧵

1. It may contain cancer-causing chemicals. ⚠️ https://t.co/EmLfC9vmAh

What do we need? Another report! When will they take action? Post extinction. Sometimes I want to rip my face off in frustration 🫤

[stephen @maximuswilde]

@DubCityCouncil putting green walls on their new offices in ballymun. All while mowing banks of wildflowers like this around the same building. Defies logical thought. #greenwashing #greenwishing #biodiversity

[Donna Rainey @donnarainey4]

The roundabout just outside #Donegal town is a stunning display of Cuckoo flowers & #dandelions I hope this isn't going to be mowed @donegalcouncil ? Is this part of your @PollinatorPlan actions? The road verges are absolutely beautiful at the moment too, well done!

Some colourful splash cups of the mosses Polytrichum juniperinum and P. piliferum seen during the @BBSbryology Spring meeting.

Pretty daisy in the nectar border #aprilinthegarden #Gardenshour #alwayslate

[Botanical University Challenge @BUCBotany]

Podocarps, family Podocarpaceae, another group of gymnosperms. Sister group to the Araucariaceae. Mainly originate in southern hemisphere from #Gondwana. Shrubs and #trees. Separate male & female plants. Female cones mature to edible fleshy scales beneath inedible/poisonous seed.

[All-Ireland Pollinator Plan @PollinatorPlan]

Dandelion and Red Dead-nettle are fantastic free sources of food for pollinators. Think twice about cutting or spraying. Let Nature Bee!

[stephen @maximuswilde]

Currently doing this from local seeds and cuttings of trees, honeysuckle and ivy. It's a long game but worthwhile.

[Little Green Space 🦋 @LGSpace]

Plant a wildlife hedge instead of building a fence! It could help hedgehogs, birds, small mammals, mini-beasts, frogs, toads, bees, butterflies, moths, hoverflies and more...
