What can dead birds tell us? Join NMI- #NaturalHistory Keeper, Paolo Viscardi , for a special online talk for adults exploring how collections in the Dead Zoo can help us understand biodiversity. Registration required #BiodiversityWeek2023 museum.ie/en-IE/Museums/…

E (8) drew Poseidon for his off-theme #SundayFishSketch. H (5) drew the ultimate monster, a combination of every monster from Beast Quest.

From my experience, birbs have limited language possessing skills and dead birbs even fewer so my guess is they won't tell us much. Happy to be proved wrong though so I'll be attending.

The more I look at it, the better it gets :) a really welcome addition to Sallins.

An off-theme #sundayfishsketch from E. A sea monster and a ship wreck.

Doing our bit for #NoMowMay on the community patch of the roof garden in our apartment block.

H (5) created this monster. Beware!

I'm very excited to see how the dissection and the drawings go. Blood and guts? Pollack with red paint? Can't wait.

So E attends a Catholic school (although we have no religion). They do a book called Grow in Love. Today in class they were asked to draw their favourite parts of God's creation. I'm sharing E's as there are such lovely details showing his love for nature. #SundayFishSketch

This was really cool. I learnt a lot about why birds are important indicators of biodiversity, how lighthouses were useful for citizen science, and how making dead things look dead is harder than you think. Great way to spend my lunch break. Thanks Paolo Viscardi

Off theme #SundayFishSketch - longhorn cowfish

In Maynooth Castle today. Our 2 boys got talking to Tadgh from Office of Public Works. He led us on a journey through time featuring apes saving babies, garderobes & ammonia dry cleaning, and the Wizard Earl of Kildare. Brilliant! Bringing Horrible Histories to life! Kildare Heritage

Off-theme, quick #SundayFishSketch today. A perch.
