Up at 5am to the local woods for #InternationalDawnChorusDay then a stroll down to the beach. Back to the house for a cuppa in the sun whilst listening to Spell Songs, from The Lost Words and watching tits on the bird feeder. A great start to a Sunday! @SIBirdClub @JackieMorrisArt Robert Macfarlane

1) #WSTC6 #ContSesh1 #Pollutants in #seabird eggs may be from prey ingested by the female during egg formation. The eggs show local contamination in a top predator. We tested #Gannet eggs from 2 island colonies in Ireland🥚🦢👨🔬☣️ 🇮🇪 Aims: get baseline data & compare colonies!

A young fox casually trotted down the road towards me yesterday as I was taking a pic of a wren at Lough Atalia. Crazy to see a fox wandering around in the middle of the day! Great to see the back end of a stoat disappear into the thicket just after as well #galwaywildlife

Nothing beats seeing animals in their natural habitat but zoos play a key role in conservation as well as increasing awareness of nature and environmental issues.Ya lure them in with the cute meerkats, then BOOM! Hit 'em with climate change facts #scicomm #ClimateCrisis

Found these beautiful blue-rayed limpets whilst #rockpooling in the kelp beds of #westcork last Friday. So much #wildlife to be found around the coast of Ireland if you care to look. Sometimes you just need to stick your head in and root around! Irish Wildlife Trust

Check out a PhD project exploring the ecology of Irish tunas in collaboration between Trinity College Dublin Marine Institute @GMITOfficial and AZTI (Spain). The project is funded by the Cullen Fellowship program. #Cullens #tuna #PhD

This a great opportunity

Brilliant #marine #ecology content on BBC Springwatch #Autumnwatch last night! Bobtail squid, long-lived bivalves and mermaid's purses. Reminded me that we found what I thought was a Flapper skate egg case when back up in #Shetland in march. Amazing animals #Greateggcasehunt

Check out this lovely documentary and escape to Rockabill island on a dark winter evening. It's a great story of a successful #Irish #wildlife #conservation project.

This project sounds pretty cool. I can highly recommend the supervisors as well!

It's been a damp and dull day in #Westport. Ideal sunbathing weather for Sea Slaters. These critters are usually found under rocks and in crevices but if the #irishsummer weather suits....
