A delightful #doodle of birds having a chat, left by a reader in a book of poems from 1674.

A rough north-east sea pounding the Isle of May today so seabirds sheltering off west side below big sea cliffs like these Puffins and Razorbills

Lovely catch of Shelduck on the Ribble Estuary in Lancashire this morning for #BirdRinging 😊

We are embarking on an exciting herbarium digitisation project, DigiHerb, in partnership with Naturkundemuseum Karlsruhe & UGent Botany lab under the Interreg NWE programme. NBG Ireland Office of Public Works DBNherbarium

Herbaria are invaluable repositories of plant diversity. These 3 Syzygium spp from Vietnam & Cambodia were described from herbarium specimens, as part of the Flora of Cambodia, Laos & Vietnam project.

Tháinig mé ar an gcárta Nollag seo i leabhar a raibh ag mo shin-seanaintín. Sheol an staraí Francis Joseph Bigger é sa bhliain 1908.

Cárta Nollag a d'eisigh Conradh na Gaeilge sa bhliain 1913:

📌New paper alert!
We found that up to 1400 bird species have been lost, doubling current estimates. 🦤☠️Our research reveal the largest vertebrate extinction event in history caused by people.

Arctic migrants ! Brent Geese feeding on the playing pitches of the Phoenix Park with the Magazine Fort & Wellington Monument in background !
The public are reminded not to disturb or allow dogs to chase the Geese, while they are feeding in the park. #WinterinthePark

Great to hear Aoife Delaney from National Parks and Wildlife Service strongly welcome the Nature Restoration Law as a great opportunity for Coastal & Marine ecosystems in Ireland #RestoreNature
