@sineadnico.bsky.social and I popped down the road for a gorgeous session with the #offalynaturalistsfieldclub watching the swallows (and a bonus sedge warbler!) being ringed at Pallas Lake, before they head off this autumn. Thank you to bird ringer Declan Manley and all involved at Offaly Heritage
David Byrne was fantastic in St Anne's Park last night. The weather though - everyone was soaked to the skin! Worth it though!
First of the waterlilies making an appearance this summer! 😍
Delighted with how many daisies I have in the meadow this year. So pretty! And you can't hear it on the video but there is a constant low him from all the bumblebees 🐝 🦋 🐞
My resident bats, ducking and diving in the trees! "Sciatháin leathair" in Irish literally translates as "leather wings" 😍 🦇
Out for 4.45 a.m. and this year's International Dawn Chorus Day walk (and picnic breakfast!) with the family...
@bogshuffler.bsky.social brought her proper camera and took some lovely shots of Mrs Pheasant, grooming and enjoying a shady spot under my copper beech. Himself is much more skittish, so not sure if we'll get a good pic of him, but fingers crossed!
I have a lovely pheasant friend who's started hanging around my garden. He showed up today with his missus, and also came up to tap at my window. I hope they have somewhere safe nearby to nest, ideally in my field next door!
G'wan Jessie Buckley! I didn't like the film, but she's always fantastic. And also comhgairdeas to Richard Baneham for his third Oscar. Great day for the parish etc. #oscars
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue
Absolutely gutted. My best boy had a stroke this morning and died beside me. He's been my buddy for a very long time and I'll miss his little face and personality 🌈 #seniorcat #meow #bestboy #chairmanmeow #rip

A beautiful and soothing night at Max Richter's 'Sleep' at Alexandra Palace. Having missed the original concerts, I was delighted to make it to the 10th anniversary show 🎶 🌛 💤
Blimey, BBC Four, what have we done to deserve this? Next Wednesday 30 July, the late evening schedule is devoted to THREADS and THE WAR GAME, two of the most horrifying and bleakly depressing films ever made. There will be documentaries, too. Get the snacks in!
Delicious dinner with @sineadnico.bsky.social and the Ma in the newly opened Kombu restaurant in Galway. Gorgeous spot, so friendly, food 100%! So. Full.
Just out of Lisa Hannigan in Shannonbridge. Fabulous gig - so mellow and beautiful, with strings and harmonies 😍 🎶
What a treat! A front row seat to see the magnificent Audra McDonald as Mama Rose in Gypsy on Broadway 🎶 🎭
Yay! Tickets secured for a night of some snoozing and music @ismiseleenie.bsky.social @maxrichtermusic.bsky.social 💤🌛🎵
Jazz OTD: Billie Holiday created one of the defining, immortal moments of 20th-century music with the debut recording of Abel Meeropol's song "Strange Fruit" on April 20, 1939. Still haunting and deeply moving nearly 90 years later. #jazzsky

Tune in to @8radioireland.bsky.social from 10 - 12 for lots of mellow tunes, including a #Severance screen trio 🎶 🐐 📯
Not to give any spoilers from the finale, but just to say I do love how completely odd as fuck #Severance is...
