Golden eagles were reintroduced to Ireland, but without prey they’re now struggling to thrive Rewilding isn’t just about reintroducing predators. Without prey and habitat restoration, even wild-looking landscapes can’t support them.

Golden Eagles were reintroduced to Ireland, but without prey, they’re struggling.

It's been wonderful to get out on Toad Patrol recently to help them to their breeding pond. Gary (Lothian Amphibian & Reptile Group) led a session for @srucnews.bsky.social staff and students on Monday, where 30 volunteers helped rescue 78 males, 25 females, 38 frogs and 1 newt from roads and paths.

When I first visited @fieldstudiesc.bsky.social Millport as a student studying with @ucc.ie, little did I think I'd be back as a lecturer almost 10 years later. I led a module last week on Field Study Skills for @srucnews.bsky.social Wildlife and Conservation, and Environmental Management students
