⚠️ Status Orange warning for Kerry this evening and tonight

5pm to 2am #StormIsha

Follow here for updates and advisories during today

#StormIsha continues to develop and track towards Ireland. Overnight weather models keep the track similar to yesterday’s forecast but they increase the levels of wind gusts a little. Isha is looking like a serious storm and you need to heed warnings.

Well done Mary and co! 7 participants recorded 29 species in flower around the very flooded Muckross Peninsula- incl the obligatory Strawberry Tree (Arbutus unedo). The weather held up as well! Gutted to have missed it, well done guys, great job!🥰
#BSBIKerry #NewYearPlantHunt

Ivy Ladybird (Nephus quadrimaculatus) found new to Ireland by B. Power this morning at Drumderry, Co. Wexford. Great to finally see this species after years of fruitless bashing ivy. #LadybirdYearList species no. 20.

Super talk last night on all things Great Blasket, a place I've been to lucky to visit numerous times for work & pleasure. Important points raised on the delicate balancing act needed to manage/conserve nature while honouring the history & cultural importance that the isld holds.
