A particularly pretty little pebble - 320 million year old Goniatite fossils in a piece of blueish shale, laid down when this part of the earths surface was South of the equator (almost 9,000km futher South than it is today).

As part of my work on the Markievicz Award I’m looking to speak with people from all over Ireland who were at houses dances, crossroads dances & dances in halls from roughly the 1930s - 60s period. Particularly those that might have stories from the impacts of the 1935 Dance🧵

"A forestry model that has caused untold harm to nature and the climate has spread its tentacles worldwide from the heart of Europe."
Plantations make up 90% of Irish 'forests', compared to a European average of 3%.

There is only one certain reference to the curlew in all of medieval Irish literature
Two of these birds, from Galway Bay, were paid in ransom for the infamous Finn mac Cumaill (Finn McCool)
The name then, as now, is CROTACH from CROT 'hump; arch'
