Incredible day yesterday in Donegal Bay! 2/3 Humpbacks, fin whales and huge numbers of minke and common Dolphins! Massive number of birds, in particular great sheatwaters! All feeding on sprat! All visible from land as well! @IWDGnews @FairSeasIreland
Every day is a school day! Ecdyonurus dispar. Blake Brook, #Staffordshire. This unusual patterning results from a recessive allele being expressed. Thanks to @bugsymac1 for the id & explanation!
💧To celebrate #WorldWaterDay LAWPRO staff ran a Citizen Science #training course in Glenveagh National Park in Donegal for Conservation Rangers from @NPWSIreland & education staff from the park. LAWPRO taught kick sampling, macroinvertebrates identification & CSSI surveys.
Eighteen fabulous @BSBIbotany events are happening across Ireland this summer, kicking off with the #BSBISpringConference in Dublin on April 20, with field meetings from Co Down to E.Cork and everywhere in between! And look out for the #AquaticPlantProject programme, coming soon!
Our 2024 national programme of field meetings & indoor events is now live! You can filter for beginner/ training/ recording/ specialist events. Many non-residential events are absolutely free & it isn't even essential to be #BSBImembers! Details here: bsbi.org/field-meetings…
A shoal of fish moving with their chosen refuge 🐟🌱 This is why macrophytes (river plants) are so vital.
Small Copper on Ragwort in #Donegal today @BioDataCentre
Excessive algal growth in the lower Dalligan River, Ballyvoyle Cove, #Waterford today. #ClimateChange predictions mean that our rivers will have lower volumes of warmer water in summer dry spells so ability of rivers to dilute and assimilate pollutants will be reduced.⚠️
Oh #LoughEske! I forgot how stunning this place is! Calm evening for a swim and a chance to check out plants - Elodea canadensis, Myriophyllum alterniflorum and Potamogeton perfoliatus noted #aquaticplants #Donegal 🌿🌱
Got a nice variety of flowers on the lawn thanks to leaving wild! Eyebright, Ragged Robin, Cuckoo Flower, White Clover plus many more (not all pictured here). However, hardly any pollinators despite the warm temps! 😔 😔#NoMowSummer #Donegal
@bizarro_p @ARC_Bytes @BioDataCentre @RobGandola Ahhh makes sense. I don't have very confused frogs then😁. Thanks for the input all!
Well that's a first for me! Found frogspawn in the gutters and on the house roof! I'm guessing a bird has eaten a few frogs up there but left behind the spawn..? 🤔 🐸 #frog #amphibian @ARC_Bytes @BioDataCentre
Today is #WorldWaterDay2023 and the @UN_Water theme is 'Accelerating Change'. Meet the #LAWPRO team working for change, and the protection and restoration of good & high #WaterQuality in Ireland's rivers, estuaries and lakes. #BeTheChange Visit: lawaters.ie
📢 Fantastic news for Europe's rivers! Albania designates Vjosa River as a national park, protecting one of the last wild waterways on the continent. #VjosaNationalPark #WildRivers 🌿🌍 theguardian.com/environment/20…
PMP held our annual farmer training in Glaskeelan on Friday. Thanks to George Russell for the use of the shed, Patsy and Patrick from LAWPRO for a very interesting talk on the work they do & to @ACRESDonegal would came along to meet the farmers.
While Temps have dropped low rainfall is impacting; fish are resorting to small available refuges of standing water in deeper pocket #rivernore #climatechange @InlandFisherIE @Dept_ECC
Beautiful River with the bed covered in the Liverwort Pellia. Plus one Oenanthe crocata plant holding its own in the middle of the channel! #Macrophytes
#Macrophytes spotted this week-Myriophyllum spicatum, Persicaria amphibia and Sparganium erectum. Nice to see Branched Bur-reed when it's in flower.
We are working with a farmer group to monitor water temperatures. On 19th Jul within an open section of the Bleng 25oC was recorded. Salmon & trout will find this stressful. Downstream within woodland the maximum was 20oC. Trees along rivers are vital to #keepriverscool
Just received an early hard copy of the Freshwater Biology and Ecology Handbook. Even this quick flick through shows you what an amazing publication this is! You can download a free copy on the FBA website (FBA Voice Section) @F4WaterResearch #KnowledgeExchange
