Here is a link to our live camera stream from one of the nesting burrows at our Sand Martin nest bank. There are five chicks growing fast in this burrow - we think they are about a week away from fledging. You can the action here 👉https://www.youtube.com/live/mHFmGRzpA9s?si=HAmbf5gCpj6mOGO_

Thanks for sharing Gemma. Now is a great time to see Sand Martins at Harper's. You can see the nest bank from the Borrow Dyke (1st) Hide. Many of the chicks, including those in Burrow 19 have fledged. We are watching closely to see if we will get a second clutch here over the next week or two.

A swallow from the twitter archives. Taken from a hide at Harper Island. As it turned out it was nesting in the hide right over my head. #cork

Over two years delay to ACRES environmental payments for some is undermining faith in future eco schemes.

The anguish in the voices of proud men unable to pay their bills is palpable.

Wow! Just crash-landed in from Planet X. Greetings earthlings.
I come in peace.

I have started a starter pack... all the posters I could find who are Irish, based in Ireland or posting about Irish stuff. Maybe a vain attempt to recreate some of the buzz of Irish 'other site'.

It's not meant to be exclusive! Let me know if you want to be added!
