Lovely and sunny today as I walked through the wetlands. Hard to believe its mid-November! Remember this is a 360 4K video so you can look in any direction 🙂

Here’s a two-part 4K 360 video of a walk through the wetlands today. I was surprised by how much scrub land had been cleared with just rushes starting to grow up.

Below is a photo Jimmy Doyle grabbed on his phone at lunch time in the wetland. . We think it is an emperor dragonfly, they apparently like newly established wetlands. We had spotted one a couple of weeks ago but this is the 1st picture we managed.

Micheál did a wonderful job on his first biodiversity session with the youngest Gaelscoil classes today. It was fun and informative for the adults and children alike. It was obvious how much time and effort he put into the preparation. Attached are a selection of images which give some of the flavour of the day. (There will be another session tomorrow)

A group of us met today at 2:30 pm to move the logs back to their original positions and restore the log piles, which will naturally rot providing a habitat for beetles, etc.
Well done to all involved and a special thanks to the group of young people who also helped us.
Interesting to see some dragonfly casings
And one small one was spotted flying over one of the lakes 🙂
The place looked great afterwards.

Took myself out in the wind for a walk to the allotments earlier today and took a few panoramas going through the wetlands 🙂

Had a lovely walk through the wetlands. While the dumped garden waste is unsightly, unecessary and promotes weed growth it has also perhaps helps some wild flowers.
