First Swallow roost catch of the year at Clogheen Marsh last night. About 300 birds came into roost and we caught 114 inc a retrap adult from last year plus 2 Sand Martin. Surprised to get so many this early, but migration seems early @npwsireland.bsky.social @btobirds.bsky.social

A first ringing demo for the newly founded SouthWest Ireland Ringing Group at Killarney National Park yesterday. A good selection of birds for the 20 participants, but a pair of Treecreeper and Long-tailed Tit were the show stoppers @npwsireland.bsky.social @btobirds.bsky.social

In Wallonia (BE), only 1,3% of the territory is under strict nature protection regime. The new regional government is committed to reaching 5% by 2030, but at the same time is cutting in half the budgets for acquisition of land to set up nature reserves. Find the error. #Conservation #biodiversity
