Climate change means your seasonal wardrobe is redundant!
You need to fight for your right to wear cute jumpers at certain times of the year.

Interesting(!) that these captive-bred ducks for sale in East Yorkshire seem to be unringed in very many cases. Baikal, Blue-winged, Green-winged Teals, plus Garganeys. Dread to think how many end up in the wild and in local bird reports... #ukbirding

Hurricane Melissa is bearing down on Jamaica, with many areas likely to see over 500 mm of rainfall. The impacts could be extremely significant.

People are too concerned with the term "Biodiversity".
This is leading to bad planning and bad programmes at the expense of nature.
Ecological integrity is a better method through which to operate, but much harder to define.

Can you imagine TDs scrambling to change the Constitution or commentators hand-wringing in the media if it was leftists who behaved the way the spoiled vote crew did, in the same (minority) numbers, after several bigoted riots. Not so much forced to pander to them as willingly taking a running leap.

This is bull.
Steen has done no public service and had ample time to prepare a campaign if she was actually bothered.
Sheridan wasn't bothered to have documents right for LA meetings.

This spoiled vote thing is a Big Flashing Danger sign in the week of racist riots in Ireland - we're stumbling towards a crisis with no leadership or will to tackle misinformation, criminality, intimidation.
And we've seen it coming since the Anti-Vaxx loons started screaming in chemists.

Don’t flake on voting just because the result is in the bag! Margin matters. Remember how awful it felt seeing Peter Casey jump from 2% polls to 23% after his attacks on travellers. A low turnout/high number of spoiled votes will be seized on by the fash. Every vote for Connolly undermines them

Bang!
And the dirt is gone!
We try to use the dig out method where possible - a few skilled swings of a mattock do wonders!
Taking out main root seems to be effective for long term clearance with minimal regrowth.
(We do have to use herbicide sometimes too)

One of the main issue with nature in Ireland is it is only viewed through the lens of production.
"Money should be spent on agricultural habitats because we are an agricultural landscape" is repeatedly used as an excuse for bad science and poor policy.

Cherry Laurel on the march from gardens into woodlands.
Crazy that the government has not acted on the Citizen's Assembly's recommendation to ban it for sale (How many years ago was that?)
The alternative of Griselinia or Portugese Laurel are not good either.
Nothing wrong with Holly, Yew etc

Kerry fish farm license reinstated but regulations ‘shattered’ says fishery watchdog
In the tranquil bays of the Iveagh Peninsula hides the thronging Deenish Island fish farm. In the minds of many locals, the farm, owned by Norwegian fisheries giant Mowi, is a deeply insidious force.
