I started Ireland's most ambitious camera trap project in Wicklow as part of Snapshot Europe.
Since 2021, I partnered with @UCD_Wildlife + @ReWildWicklow deploying 150 cameras, collecting ~400,000 photos, and ~31 years worth of survey effort.
2024's highlights below! 🧵👇

A wintery morning today in SW part of Białowieża Forest. -10°C throughout the night froze all the waterbodies including rivers, yet still Pygmy Owls & Hazel Grouses were vocally active in the sunshine.
Still the most interesting was two Red Deer stags rutting! Exceptionally late!
Clean the drains
Drain the land
Cut the trees
Clear the mess

"Worrying development"
Buddy, what do you think happens naturally?
We will be discussing the worrying development of leaving culled wild deer to rot in our national parks on @highlandradio this morning. This practice creates bio security hazards and waste sustainable venison and is detested by those who manage our deer @Glenveagh_NP @NPWSIreland

There's serious ecological discussions to be had by adults about deer management, it would be great if all stakeholders were mature enough to be at the table.
This account will be posting more on BlueSky, and less here - this place is being overrun by losers and fools.
Don't forget to vote Friday, vote left, transfer left.
Catch you on the flipside.

15°C in southern England tomorrow—just 4 weeks before Christmas. Most of England will be ~8°C above the seasonal norm. 🌍 The wild climate swings we’re seeing will only intensify as the planet continues to warm.

Like rivers overhead, the branches of this tree bring life where they wander.
Growing for centuries in our Ancient Wood reserve in Ballinakelly, the entire area was probably named after this wood. In the Irish language Ballinakelly is "Baile na coille", the townland of the woods
This site is dying a quick death and not posting much anymore but imploring Irish followers to critically assess politicians during the election and not vote for charlatans & loons
FG have been in power since 2011, they did a budget a few weeks ago - 11% is a dangling 🥕
Fine Gael has said it will permanently reduce the VAT rate for the food-based hospitality, entertainment and hairdressing sectors to 11%, if returned to government

Don't vote for the candidates that want your vote but laugh at you, your struggles and the boatload of young people leaving for Canada and Oz
Last night Fine Gael minister Peter Burke had Michael O’Leary (yes that one) launch his election campaign in Mullingar.
The sheer hypocrisy to have him on stage whinging about government wasting money at a government TD’s event. 😂😂😂
Fine Gael don’t care about the working class. That’s evident. And Mr. O’Leary (who’s worth about a billion euro, fair play to him) certainly doesn’t either.
Insults to teachers, left-wing parties, you name it he said it.
And then to top it all off, he made it abundantly clear that Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil are two cheeks of the same arse by telling people to transfer between FG and FF.
This is who Fine Gael are.
And to distract you from their mockery and disdain of you, they make headlines by punching down and making you think its another group's fault, not the government's fault things are bad for you.
Critical assess these vile tactics.

I am extremely happy to share my first paper (‼️), a joint effort between my PhD project at @MfrcATU and mesopelagic research at the @MarineInst

Why are these scenarios so commonplace here in Ireland? When will these people realise that all of this ends badly? Why is it allowed? Nature in Ireland is under constant attack in the name of ‘progress’. We need to protect it. Restore it. Cherish it.
