My most enjoyable summer read yet, #natureboy by @seanronayne.bsky.social. It sums up beautifully what's important to remember, cherish & protect in our world & lives. A must for educators, so we can properly situate nature in schools & also become more inclusive! Autism is rarely explained better!

The last government had an open goal to reform forestry to something resembling a sustainable model - but they blew it.
With Coillte abandoning its biodiversity commitments, it seems that the industry now feels the pressure is off.

The start of a new chapter! I’ve been meaning to explore underwater sounds for some time. This recorder will remain submerged for 24hrs as a test. Let’s see what swims around it tonight, when the tide rises and the people leave. Just my mic, the sea, and the fish!

Thank you everyone for a great night at Cork Opera House! Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d fill 750 seats in my home city one day. What a privilege to do that talking about the thing I love so much. Nature. You all give me so much hope. See you at the next! Lots more venues to go.

One man in Ireland has set himself an unusual challenge - to record the sound of every bird species in the country. Many of those birds may soon no longer exist. My report on @theworld.org with thanks to @seanronayne.bsky.social Listen back and read here: theworld.org/stories/2025...

Myself and @seanronayne.bsky.social are giving a sellout talk in St. Luke's Church, Cork, shortly.
Such a very special venue, I'm certain the evening will be too.
I have a ticket (1 ticket) to tomorrow night's show (21st March) in St Lukes that I can't use anymore if anyone would like it?

UK friends! Tonight Birdsong makes its UK TV debut on BBC4 at 9pm. It will also be available on BBC Player thereafter. Please spread the word! Extract taken from The Times.

Currently have mics running at three sites here in Catalunya. The lack of human noise at each is astounding. Can’t wait to see what I’ve captured!

Tour almost ready to go! Lots of new sounds & stories as well as new threads & elements to others. The first two gigs are sold out with most others heading that way. I can’t wait! I have a few mics to collect here before coming home from Catalunya so hope to add even more sounds.

Yes! It’s the only way for me. If I’m not feeling it I don’t waste my time. I know I’ll replace it when the passion comings knocking
