Northern Parula at Firkeel Glen, Co. Cork this morning. The fourth record for Ireland but the first twitchable since 1983! I can’t believe I’ve seen one in Ireland! I’m still pinching myself 😂 found yesterday by Kieran Grace. @BirdGuides

#SaveourSprat
We need this madness to end immediately. Coastal ecosystems are being put in jeopardy by the removal of a keystone species. Contact your local TD & demand they act. March with @SaveOurSpratWC in #Clonakilty on August 13th.

Sprat. They are disappearing and we must take action now.
They are a critical part of our marine ecosystem, supporting seabirds, dolphins, salmon, cod, and even the fish we eat!
Pair trawling in our bays by larger boats is having an impact. The ban needs to be re-introduced.

[Stephen dunbar @dunbar44]

A special day on Sunday in Dingle Bay, spotted Aquarius the orca then had 3 humpbacks feeding in the afternoon! Doesn't get much better than that! What a island we live on but we need to ensure these areas + key species like sprat and sand eels are protected and managed

Don't like being in front of the camera, but it's for a very worthy cause, so made an exception. Support @SaveOurSpratWC and @saveoursprat and demand the Irish Government puts a stop to unregulated and unsustainable Sprat fishing. #SaveOurSprat

Oh dear @bunq. Now you have Irish IBANs for customers in Ireland, I thought I'd give it a whirl. Based on your sign-up rigmarole alone I won't be using it. How does 5 minutes turn into 4 days? Utter fail! Thanks but no thanks. I'll stick with @RevolutApp.

[Intothewild Ireland @intothewild45]

Both great reads!!!

[Malcolm Noonan @noonan_malcolm]

The launch of the Hen Harrier Threat Response Plan today marks a significant milestone in our efforts to prevent the extinction of our precious ‘skydancer’. Earlier this year, @NPWSIreland published latest estimates for Ireland's Hen Harrier population and the figures were stark.

[Calvin Jones @WriterCJ]

@intothewild45 @GraceOSllvn @RoryGPRep @greenparty_ie Agree to an extent Dan... but for my money, biodiversity loss is an even more pressing issue in terms of our survival... and absolutely nobody is talking about that.

[Calvin Jones @WriterCJ]

@CorkGreens Pretty convinced that addressing biodiversity loss is a more pressing human survival imperative, but agree both are crucial, and linked, issues that far outweigh any of the short-term political manouverings and posturing of the various candidates.

I am so proud & just utterly moved by what the team have made. There are many important messages within

There will be a few media interviews here and there this week. So excited! Thanks so much for all of your support

[Christopher O’Sullivan TD @COSullivanTD]

Classic. Couldn’t even use an image of a gull species that actually occurs in Ireland. So much misinformation out there about gulls despite the fact that some of them are amber listed and are a threatened species in Ireland.

[Intothewild Ireland @intothewild45]

In #Ireland we build or farm on floodplains and then @opwireland spend millions downstream trying to stop flooding with concrete, wrecking habitats. We could be letting nature do the job for us!

Overnight light snow on Gougane Barra’s frozen lake has left a very dramatic scene

The spruce, pine and rhododendron plantation. In Ireland, they call this a National Park.
