Great little @bsbibotany.bsky.social excursion to Corlea Bog in Co. Longford over the weekend, and to see Pyrola rotundifolia (finding only one in flower), Hippuris vulgaris and Sagina nodosa...then exploring some aquatic plants near Ballymahon along the canal (highlight being Ranunculus lingua)

Some of the solitary bee's seen during pollinator surveys (yeah much do not want to cooperate staying still😅) #bees #entomology

Fantastic outing on the 24th May 2025 (late getting these up) in Wexford thanks to the VCR seeing all the amazing peas: Trifolium subterraneum, T. glomeratum, Ornithopus perpusillus and Lotus subbiflorus. Photos don't show how small they are😅

Andricus kollari, the marble like galls on an oak sapling in my local park. Fascinating creation from a tiny gall wasp #entomology

One of my favourite birds, tufted duck, and their diving ability is amazing under the water #birding

As part of #WorldWetlandsDay2025 it just happened to coincide with the weekend of our IWeBS count of South Dublin Bay yesterday. Although looks like sand and water, it plays an integral part for birds and marine invertebrates which were on show in numbers

Need to start walking off the Christmas pounds? May as well do a #NewYearPlantHunt outing. Can be done solo, or few friends, or a local group. Here is a group outing on the first day @bsbibotany.bsky.social there may be leftover sweets to share🎄🎅
