Maidenhair Fern near Lisdoonvarna, growing on the wall of a gorge on shale/siltstone bedrock. Possibly the 1st record in the locality since the mid-1800's. Interesting that aforementioned record has it growing on 'the coal measures', an antiquated term for the shale geology

Incredible find here by Donncha.
The potential of these small west Clare woodlands is huge, and almost entirely undocumented.

A Woodwasp, stunning creature. I’d not heard of one & so am grateful to @Jessica_Ham92 for the post. There’s lots to learn about our biodiversity in ireland and beyond and we need to do all we can to assist w/research and conservation, before it’s too late.

Breaking news! Sighting reports sent to IWDG July 15th in Donegal Bay confirm exceptionally rare record of a North Atlantic Right whale for the North East Atlantic, and a 1st for the IWDG with supporting photo evidence. Full story 👉

Many fish stocks are depleted or under pressure with devastating knock-on effects for economies & wildlife.
However, Irish waters are home to many important spawning grounds 🐟🐠

Crexcellent news this morning as 2023 survey data shows a 35% increase in critically endangered corncrakes in Ireland over the past five years. 218 breeding territories were recorded this year - that's up 10% on last year, and for the first time in a decade it exceeds 200 sites.

We’re called @TreesforStreets but perhaps we should be #TreesforShade
Since the heatwave🌞started, many people are telling us they specifically want street trees planted to provide more shade🌳
The climate IS changing, we NEED to adapt ALL our streets

It's not an exaggeration to say that every week brings new insights to the absolute catastrophe we are facing. Yet some politicians put all their effort into making sure nothing is done about it...

We're great at celebrating certain aspects of our heritage. We even wear a plant - Shamrock- on #StPatricksDay2023 but in the meantime 56% of our native plant species are declining. We know what needs to be done, need to get to it.

Sow single French marigolds now to inter-plant with #tomatoes. Science shows they release the phytochemical Limonene which repels whitefly and also attract beneficial #insects. Proving what #organic #gardeners have always known, companion planting works!#Growyourown #foodsecurity
