Calling all #dogowners: When you are in wetlands protect endangered #breedingwaders from your dog by keeping them on a lead and away from nesting sites. No leads, can lead to disaster.

Take a peek into the outdoor rearing stage of the @BreedingWaders curlew with our Ranger Jess.
The curlew are not visible to the public in the Park. While the curlew are monitored, there is only limited human activity in these areas to help the birds progress back into the wild.

The @BreedingWaders EIP is funded by @NPWSIreland and @agriculture_ie, and I’d like to pay special tribute to the landowners, farmers and local communities who've got on board with the project. It would quite simply be an impossible challenge without their support. #RestoreNature
