#WetGrasslands might not look like much in winter, but may be species-rich & really valuable for myriad small creatures who require open spaces to live & breed. This is Lough Cullaunyheeda, #Clare, & supports Marsh #Orchids, Butterwort, & much more. #GreatIrishGrasslands

So far this year, #ACRES has seen successful outcomes for the #environment on Irish farms. Watch the moment a #snipe appears within a week of a wader scrape being created on a #Leitrim farm. ACRES Breifne

Aftermath of the fire on Carn Glenshane, the fire wasn’t moving fast and so has really hammered the sphagnum and other vegetation. It’ll take a long time for this to recover! Ulster Wildlife #wildfire #glenshane

Wildfires damage habitat but at this time of year are also devastating for ground nesting birds such as the skylark, meadowpipit and the Hen Harrier. Report fires immediately
