Is this a queen wasp? On my house facade today, 2.5cm or so long.

Came across these on a grassy roadside near Kildare Town today.
Never seen those odd 'shrooms before. Any thoughts, #mycologists of @bsky.app ?

In our September newsletter, we explore what it takes to make farms appealing workplaces—to attract and retain quality workers, and sustain the next generation.
Hint:It’s about more than economics, and it is essential to rural life and global food security.

Those guys saved the morning for me with overnight oats. But that's not what I want for breakfast.

Hello #twitchers of #BlueSky in Ireland.
Looked up this little fellow on @BirdWatchIE website, to no avail. Seen this am coastal area in SW #Donegal. Any thoughts? Many thanks in advance!

The vital importance of CAP payments to Irish farmers' income viability, astronomical raft of new regulations being imposed on EU farming, and relative emission evolutions between the EU and other big ag countries... quite sobering as #IFA national meeting on #CAP to 2030 and beyond gets underway!

Dublin tourist recommendation: visit of the Jeanie Johnston on Custom House Quay. A surprisingly moving visit with fabulous guide Ronan, of the wrongly named Coffin Ship: it didn't lose a single life thanks to exceptional hygiene on board. Not even when it eventually sank with its full crew!

#Dairy and #Doha
Nice to find a little bit of 🇮🇪 on @qatarwings.bsky.social #LakelandDairies.
Doha duty-free a strange place where you find NL and NZ milk powders, European and American treats, lots of tobacco and no local stuff, other than lovely dates and date based sweets.

Turbulent global trade with far right-leaning protectionist country leaders pursuing own-country-first trading policies are genuinely worrying for food availability, security and farmer livelihoods the world over.

Very sad news about #PatIngoldsby. May his gentle soul rest in peace. ❤️

The EU Commission's Vision for EU's Agriculture will be published imminently. It will feature a few new and many old ideas. The economic viability of food producers will remain the most important way to secure all aspects of sustainability.

You can request your Twitter archive, did that before deactivating account this week. No guarantee the ppl you followed on T will be present here though.

Consumers are disconnected from farming, especially modern, tech savvy, productive farming. Yet, they are our market, tax payers, voters and policy influencers. We need to bring them into the room. My take on the lessons from the #Bovaer controversy.

My two favourite cheeses. In Killybegs. On #BoxingDay. Thank you @supervaluirl.bsky.social 🙏🏻🙏🏻🫶🥰
The food of the gods you can fascinate women with. I am endlessly grateful. And will deal with the cheese coma later.
