Community Crossover Special – Sun 12th March 2023

  • 12th March 202312th March 2023

I had noticed last month a shopping trolley in one of the ponds. So I made sure I had wellies to retrieve it this month and my Shannon Tidy Towns litter picker and rubbish bags. So a community group crossover!

And here’s a longer video as I collect cans and bottles around the ponds

Thurs 2nd Feb 2023 – World Wetlands Day

  • 2nd February 20232nd February 2023

The weather held for us and we had a wonderful hour or so in the wetlands this afternoon. Pupils from both St Patrick’s Comprehensive (https://www.stpatrickscomprehensive.ie/) and Gaelscoil Donncha Rua (https://gdr.ie/). For me the highlight was when Ruairí from LAWPRO (https://lawaters.ie/) explained the sweet smell of otter (madra uisce) excrement! By passing some around 🙂

(PS. If you have photos and are posting them online please let us know and we will link to them. Thanks).

Sun 4th Dec 2022 A chilly Wetlands

  • 4th December 20224th December 2022

Found the water in the ponds crystal clear and no sign of the chalky marl. It was dry and sunny today at 5 C but felt much much colder with an icy occasional breeze.

The rubbish is start to accumulate around various areas again but nowhere near as bad as the Town Park.

Sadly the pond in the Town Park is looking in a very run down way

November 2022 walk through the wetlands

Well I’d been in Mayo for the Summer so it was great to get back to walking through the wetlands. The ponds were fuller than when I last visited in Summer and much of the reeds have been cleared.
