Had a fantastic day yesterday at the @btobirds.bsky.social birdwatchers conference. Great talks and some great chats with fellow birdwatchers and even got to see and hear the whooper swans on Lough Neagh.

Yesterday was #WorldOtterDay; to celebrate these magnificent creatures here is a video taken at Murragh bridge last November 🦦

A fascinating article about the complex history of Murragh from the Stone Age to the Celts.

Make your vote a green vote! Climate change is the defining issue of our generation. Our votes must reflect this.

Lough Hyne, Europe's oldest marine reserve is being killed by pollution, poaching & neglect.
The NPWS “look forward to the general reduction in nitrogen levels in the open ocean”...don't we all. www.thejournal.ie/investigates...

"[..] this is a species [us], beset by a lethal combination of conformity, distraction and a fear of offending powerful interests, actively collaborating in its own extinction."

Given all the current facts, the only logical conclusion.
