Anyone visiting #RHSChelsea? Remember to look out for bat friendly features in the #gardens. This drawing from the latest issue of Bat News magazine highlights some of the things to look out for. Bat friendly gardens can play an important role in helping wildlife.

Just got word from our wardens at Kilcoole that we now have >204 active Little Tern nests, matching last year's peak (which wasn't hit until June 2023). It's been a very early start to nesting and it'll be a busy few months trying to keep them all safe! @NPWSIreland @BirdWatchIE – at Wicklow, Ireland

Lapwing can be seen in Ireland year-round but the greatest numbers occur between Sept. & April.
Like many ground-nesting species, the Lapwing has undergone severe declines in breeding numbers. It now red-listed on the Birds of Conservation Concern in Ireland list.

After extinction in the early 19th century the Red Kite soars again in Wicklow. Re-introduced in 2007 these magnificent creatures are again flourishing.
