Studies show that many 'wildflower' seed mixes contain non-native species & can inadvertently introduce invasive species Mow less, remove grass clippings, & local wildflowers will grow naturally. It takes time, but it's worth the wait #PatienceNotPackets
A selection of photos I took recently. The long-tailed tit striking a pose was seen along the marina in Cork City. The waders were seen during a bird survey at Dungarvan Harbour in Waterford. I love the head pattern on greenshanks. #birding #wildlifephotography

We'd a couple of busy days at Bull Island, Dublin 2 weeks ago, managing to read rings on 25 birds! A summary of what we saw: - 17 birds (oystercatchers, redshanks and a bar-tailed godwit) ringed by @BirdWatchIE. Some of these birds have been wintering at Bull Island since 2014.

Few photos I took over the last three months. First try at some editing and I don't think they look too bad. I'm very happy with the gull and snipe photo. Canon R7, RF 100-400mm lens #birdphotography #birding #canon

Our first ring-reading outing of 2025 with 5 ringed Knot! All 5 were ringed in the UK in spring 2024, and now they're wintering in Ireland. One of these birds has also been resighted in the Arctic and Iceland! A nice start to the new year! @_BTO @_EURING @NPWSIreland
Nice to see this mute swan again during my I-WeBS today 😊🦢 @johbees @_BTO @BirdWatchIE @_EURING
I was told of a Mute Swan @Blarney_Castle which had a ring on its leg and on Saturday @roisin765 managed to read the ring. It has only moved 7km, but was ringed by @johbees at The Lough nearly 21 years ago, making it the new Irish longevity record @_BTO @BirdWatchIE @_EURING
@BC_Gemma @RichardTMills Very important 😄
