Connecting Cabra

First frog spawn of the year spotted at the connecting Cabra pond.

A small but important sign of spring. Frogs rely on ponds and wetlands like this to breed, and these habitats support many other species too.

Even in urban areas, wetlands play a vital role in supporting biodiversity.

What a great photo from the Bohs v Shamrock Rovers game!

Beautiful, crisp cold morning in Tolka Valley Park. Dipper, Chiffchaff, Redpoll and Reed Bunting so far.

The beach hedge around our back garden with its brown winter leaves on display.

If you live in Ireland and you need to trim a hedge it’s get it done this weekend or wait until September. It’s illegal to cut a hedge after 1 March before 1 September in most circumstances.

Bohs go 2-0 up against Shamrock Rovers!! Thanks to Baz for the video!! @loipdnews.bsky.social @bfcdublin.bsky.social #Speirgorm

Have the top 10 of Dublin’s worst junctions for cycling improved much in 15 years? -- What do you think are the worst 10 junctions in Dublin today? Back in 2011 -- 15 years ago -- the Dublin Cycling Campaign pushed for the "10 worst" junctions to be fixed. Would it be surprising to say none of them has been fully fixed? Recently, IrishCycle.com came across the following on the campaign's website: "We surveyed our members and Facebook friends to find the 10 worst junctions/streets in Dublin.

Deeply conflicted, Kushner represents the U.S. in high-stakes negotiations with Iran Today in Geneva, Switzerland, Jared Kushner will represent the United States in meetings with Iranian officials — a last

As Trump ramps up his warmongering with Iran, his own son-in-law Jared Kushner — who is leading negotiations with Iran — stands to profit from lucrative contracts with its regional rivals.

The Trump family's insatiable greed endangers us all.

Great to see this being screened locally again. Highly recommended! @mudisland.bsky.social @billylinehan.bsky.social

We grew up believing that a good garden is one that’s tightly controlled. But the truth is, you can have a garden that’s easier to manage — and supports life at the same time.

LOST CAT! Milo has gone missing from Seapark apts on Mount Prospect Ave in #Clontarf. He’s an indoor cat and still quite young so he’s probably pretty scared. Please let me know if you spot him hiding somewhere in the area. Thanks so much!

This is in Dublin, Ireland btw.

A suburban green, with grass & trees, and lots of crocuses & snowdrops. 1940s (?) houses in the background.

This morning’s walk. Cabra looking lovely.

Hope everybody is okay. This happened just after our protest for safer streets in Cabra. It underlines the need for safe cycling and walking infrastructure.

We’d like to challenge Councillor Hogan to drink a glass of Glyphosphate then!
