Around this time every year I start to see Red Squirrels enjoying the larch cones in the forest, like this one.

Ha, well that made me laugh this morning! Thought I'd try the '2026 is the new 2016' viral trend so went into Facebook to find a suitable 2016 photo & this popped up! Sometimes muscalid dreams do come true ... #2026isthenew2016 #NewYear #IrishWildlife #PineMartens
Screenshot from Facebook post 7th Feb 2016 with photo of a pinemarten and comment from Leon, Bob's husband, saying "Bob, can we get a pine marten as well for our growing animal collection?" Screenshot of Bob's Facebook post from late 2025 (he's pretending its 2026 but in fairness the pinemarten is till there...) of a pinemarten on Bob & Leon's Mayo land and words "well that's made my week! Checked our Mayo bog meadow wildlife camera today & discovered this inquisitive pine marten had come to say hello!"

Caught my second glimpse of snipes (Redlisted in Ireland) on our land in co Laois today.

I doubt I would have been fast enough to catch them on camera but have a quick blurb from the #CommunityWetlandForum beginners guide to wetlands

#IrishWildlife #BirdsIreland
Extract from the CWT Beginner's Guide to Wetlands on Snipes on Ireland. "The snipe is another iconic bird found on boglands. It is a ground nesting bird. If disturbed they fly away in a zigzag pattern. They have a distinct long bill, and are sometimes associated with making a drumming noise by the vibrations of its tail feathers in the wind to mark their breeding territory. "

Come fly with me, let’s fly away. Caught this glossy little aviator mid-sunbathe. A tachinid fly, google search so could be wrong, nature’s pest control (apparently!), styled in jet-black. ✈️  #insect #MacroMonday #MacroPhotography #IrishWildlife  #NatureStory #CloseUp #WildIreland
