Thurs 2nd Feb 2023 – World Wetlands Day
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 Ruairà 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
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.
The smaller pond with very clear water
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.
Enjoy the 360 4K videos.
