On Raglan Road of an Autumn day
I saw her first and knew,
that her dark hair would weave a snare
that I might someday rue.
I saw the danger and yet I passed
along the enchanted way,
and I said, "Let grief be a fallen leaf
at the dawning of the day."

A rakali sits by the water, holding something in its front paws, presumably edible, its fur wet from a recent swim. A caption invites us to read the open access article in Australian Mammalogy titled 'First evidence of aggressive interactions by native rakali towards invasive black rats'.

A study by researchers from @sydney.edu.au & @unswbees.bsky.social suggests there is potential for the native Australian water rat, rakali, to play a positive role in biotic resistance against invasive black rats.

Until now, the consensus was that it was a flightless nativehen of Tribonyx (otherwise only known from Australia), Tribonyx hodgenorum.

New genetic evidence shows that it was a member of Porzana—the 7th genus—and the closest relative of the Australian spotted crake (Porzana fluminea).

Dead loves that were born for me.'

‘When We Were Kings and Queens of the Road’*, islandwide and diaspora story project from the Museum of Childhood Ireland, explores the various ways in which children travelled to school in the past when there was less reliance on cars as a means of transport, where children walked, cycled bikes, used buses….generally unsupervised! As such we gain a novel insight on their remembrances of how they navigated their world. Sepia toned image of a boy on a piebald pony in an Irish town We hope you’ll enjoy reading the stories and we’d love to hear your story too! ❤️ https://museumofchildhood.ie/when-we-were-kings-and-queens-of-the-road/ *Our project title is inspired by Patrick Kavanagh‘s poem, Inniskeen Road: July Evening The bicycles go by in twos and threes – There’s a dance in Billy Brennan’s barn to-night, And there’s the half-talk code of mysteries And the wink-and-elbow language of delight. Half-past eight and there is not a spot Upon a mile of road, no shadow thrown That might turn out a man or woman, not A footfall tapping secrecies of stone. I have what every poet hates in spite Of all the solemn talk of contemplation. Oh, Alexander Selkirk knew the plight Of being king and government and nation. A road, a mile of kingdom, I am king Of banks and stones and every blooming thing.
