Long-distance video of two White-tailed Eagles (Haliaeetus albicilla) in the River Little Brosna Callows SPA last month.
NPWS confirmed that the bird in flight is a female released on the Shannon Estuary in 2022 as part of the reintroduction programme. The other bird's tag was not visible.

A Large White butterfly which surprised one of our #TeamScottCawley members in their kitchen. Common in Europe, caterpillars often feed on cabbage and other brassicas, as Latin name Pieris brassicae suggests, often referred to as ‘cabbage whites’. An early sighting as they usually fly April-October

A ringed plover runs across a sandy beach. The bird's orange beak and legs contrast with the surrounding sand.
Did you know that some bird species, like ringed plovers, tempt underground invertebrates out by imitating the sound of rain with their feet? 🌧
This nifty trick is called ‘foot-trembling’ and involves the birds tapping their feet on the ground to recreate the sound of rain. 👣

Large grey gull on a clifftop
First sighting of a winter glaucous gull on the west coast of Ireland by a #TeamScottCawley ecologist.
The Larus hyperboreus or Faoileán glas - glaucous is from Latin for grey - the second-largest gull species, breeds in arctic regions. One of only a handful here?
Any more sightings? #GlaucousGull
Long yellow catkin blooms on a branch in a field, small buds on the right, one with a red tip
Hazel catkins open - possibly a little early due to a mild winter - snapped by a #TeamScottCawley member. Note on the right, the small female flower bud. Clouds of golden pollen are dispersed by the male yellow catkins - blowing towards the bright pink buds of trees for #pollination
Given all that's going on, here's another systemic risk out there: the collapse of food production due to biodiversity loss in key areas of the world. This UK security analysis get it - a key message of the @ipbes.net Nexus Assessment as well. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Two stunning shots of the #auroraborealis or #NorthernLights captured by a #TeamScottCawley ecologist in Galway, despite quite a bit of fog in the area.
The amazing light show was seen further south than usual in many places in both Ireland and around the world due to a solar geomagnetic storm
Climate change is a major driver of wildlife decline worldwide, pushing species beyond their ability to adapt and accelerating habitat loss.
