From Forest to fields and back to Forest: a bit of woodland in South Kerry. Inspired by and dedicated to Eoghan Daltun who’s done so much to raise awareness of the importance of woodland in Ireland.

🧵 1/2 The fishing Wren - who knew? I'm playing in slomo so it's easier to see what's going on.
In fact the Wren is catching amphipods (happy to be corrected on species).
This shows the value of a weedy pond & providing access to it by placing branches over the surface.

Colin Sheridan: We need a national tree strategy
European countries boast an average 35% forest cover yet Ireland stands at a disgraceful 11%; much of our country is as barren as the Sierra Nevada

An Imbolg gift yesterday: I placed my hand on a dead birch stem which fell apart to reveal this gorgeous grub. Dead wood can be good wood.
