This Ringed Plover pair are suddenly very busy - four tiny little chicks just hatched yesterday! Now scampering about all over. This is their second attempt, fingers crossed for them 🤞

This area used to be regularly mowed at Causeway hospital @NHSCTrust A decision was taken to just mow a path & leave the rest to grow, & what a great decision that was. No planting/sowing required, just halt the mowing to see what treasures will grow! #wildflowerhour
Saturday 4th July: Waterfoot Ballymaguigan wildflower meadows - joint with Cookstown Wildlife Trust As well as botany, if sunny, there are usually dragonflies and butterflies.

Another highlight on Rathlin this weekend has been the amazing frenzy of Kittiwake nest-building. Always one of our favourite parts of the seabird season - it's just so mesmerising to watch them all swarming around the cliffs #SuperSeabirdSunday
