No Mow May and Let it Bloom June were a great success in our back garden. Now we're into 'Let it Lie' July (perhaps? Just made that name up 😅) and the garden is still looking herbalicious! 😍🌱

Every point counts but in a tight game the late score can be the winner. Thank you Seán Kelly MEP It can't be overstated the degree of courage Sean has shown, given the extreme pressure that has been exerted on MEPs from far-right elements within EPP #RestoreNature

Well done Seán Kelly MEP 👏 and thank you. Will Maria Walsh MEP Colm Markey Deirdre Clune have the courage and foresight to vote #RestoreNature? 🦊🦇🌱🐙🌳

There's still time to do the right think and vote #RestoreNature. All eyes on you Colm Markey and Maria Walsh MEP 👀

Good morning Maria Walsh MEP and Colm Markey. I hope you make the right decision today to #RestoreNature. If you truly want what's best for agriculture and diversity voting to restore nature is the only sensible conscionable choice 🌱

This is very heartening news 💗

Delighted that the Nature Restoration law was voted in today 🥳 but nervous to hear about the amendments. I hope it doesn't get so watered down that it is ineffective 😕 It can't just sound good for nature #RestoreNature, it has to actually be good for nature

How gorgeous are these natterjack toadlets?! 😍

Lovely comparison of these three species! Interestingly, field scabious and devil's bit scabious are both members of the Caprifoliaceae (honeysuckle) family while sheep's-bit (the black sheep!) is in Campanulaceae (bellflowers) #wildflowerhour

Amazing to find a Swift pair apparently nesting in a crane in the centre of a newly built library in #Monaghan #Town! It highlights just how desperately Swifts need boxes, and how much potential there is to provide them with nesting space on our buildings! Monaghan County Council
