Our new paper, based on data from 1,705 studies, shows that pesticides are toxic to organisms they are not intended to harm, including fungi, microbes, plants, insects, & vertebrates such as ourselves. Questions the wisdom of applying over 3 million tonnes of them every year...

The Hare's Corner is a Burrenbeo Trust initiative which supports landowners make more space for nature through the creation of woodland, ponds, orchards, and plans for nature. More applications for this programme will be opening very soon #theharescorner burrenbeo.com/thc

Storm Darragh removed the roof of my outbuilding last night, which means that my outside loo is a bit more outside than I'd like! At least I'm not suffering a loss of power like other Mayo residents; being off-grid has many advantages. #StormDarragh #Mayo #Ireland #OffGrid

Always lovely to catch up with Fiona, watch the birds and moan about orange-tinted narcissists.

I'm having tea and chat in my boat/cabin with @TeeGrowingWild and a robin came to call (my hand, Tee filming) 😍

First job of the day: sweep the solar panels. Very crunchy greetings to you all from Co. Mayo. Stay safe on those roads, people. #offgrid #Mayo #SolarPower

Had a few traffic problems on Achill last night: Road rage from cattle, and a ram that refused to get out of the road! I had to get out and have a chat with him, and I’m pleased to say that we got back from the music festival unscathed. #Mayo #traffic #BattleForTheLake #Achill

I was honoured to have a visit from @whittledaway today, but that came with the realisation that in order for him to get around the land, I had about a kilometre of scything to do! #rewilding #scything #biodiversity #nature #Mayo

This pine weevil was exploring my bedroom wall, so I relocated it to some fallen pines. Had I known it was the premier pest for ring-barking conifers, I’d have driven it to a sitka spruce plantation 🀣 #SitkaSpruce #ForestDeadZones #weevils #biodiversity #nativetrees

Today was spent on Anthony Mooney’s farm in Kildare, recharging my eco batteries; such a pleasure to meet people who #farmfornature and are providing potential lifelines for red list birds & wildlife in general.

I couldn’t have been the only person who watched this incredible documentary while simultaneously smiling and crying. If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend it. Have tissues.
Thanks so much to everyone who watched #BIRDSONG tonight. We had so much fun - and learned so much - making it. To @SoundsIrish, Alba, Sylvia, Terry, @rosswhitakertv and the entire BIRDSONG team, thank you πŸ’š

This pine marten was caught checking out the swanky nesting box that was erected in January. So pleased to see it, today, as I was just about to relocate the camera, due to lack of interest! #PineMartens #nature #biodiversity #Mayo

I’m just across the Sligo border while on pet-sitting duties, and every dog-walking morning, this blackcap is in the same tree on the bog road, singing its heart out. Sound up for a morning treat😊#birdsong #birds #nature

There’s usually a robin sitting below him and it sings when the blackcap pauses for breath 😊

The pond is 9 months old now, & I’ve been delighted by the number of house martins swooping over, collecting mud for their nests. This is the 1st year I’ve seen them, along with a pair of mallards, a heron & a moorhen. #ponds #housemartins #biodiversity #BurrenbeoTrust #birds

A friend-packed, nourishing weekend, for which I’m truly grateful. I’m not going to embarrass everyone, just @birgitk7273 who arrived today with apple cake, wine and a spade! We laughed our way through a new veg bed. #NoDig #GirlPower #GYO

Stunning light at Old Head this afternoon. If you’re the sort of person that likes picking up beautiful stones and pebbles, DO NOT COME HERE!!! (unless you have a sack) #Mayo #Ireland
