🦊 HEADS UP! 🦊 Ireland has a real chance to ban foxhunting right now. Chasing terrified foxes on horseback with hounds is cruel and barbaric. Please support our campaign on Instagram www.instagram.com/p/DRFtSTVDT6... #banfoxhunting #SpeirGorm

Superb 3hrs that flew by in the blink of an eye with @seanronayne.bsky.social at #thelarkdublin tonight. An evening of laughter, tears, joy, awe & hope. Sean's passion is infectious, his delivery charming & his message a stark warning for the challenges ahead for Irelands birds. #Natureboy #birdsong

I’m back here after an absence. I was trying to cut back on apps. I feel like I’m being shadow-banned on instagram so this seems like a nicer place to revisit Here’s a video from a mic deployment in Barcelona, in the midst of a wonderful thunderstorm. I got so wet it didn’t matter! It was beautiful

My most enjoyable summer read yet, #natureboy by @seanronayne.bsky.social. It sums up beautifully what's important to remember, cherish & protect in our world & lives. A must for educators, so we can properly situate nature in schools & also become more inclusive! Autism is rarely explained better!

Saw @seanronayne.bsky.social speak tonight in #newbridge & #speirgorm ye all need to go listen, or catch his film on @rte.ie or read his book, his gentle, passionate call to arms is a message of pure hope 3hrs passed in the blink of an eye

The last government had an open goal to reform forestry to something resembling a sustainable model - but they blew it. With Coillte abandoning its biodiversity commitments, it seems that the industry now feels the pressure is off. jrnl.ie/6663637

Opinion: This government is determined to turn its back on sustainable forestry in Ireland

Pádraic Fogarty says that despite the climate crisis, Ireland’s native trees are last in line once again as unsustainable forestry practices continue.

The start of a new chapter! I’ve been meaning to explore underwater sounds for some time. This recorder will remain submerged for 24hrs as a test. Let’s see what swims around it tonight, when the tide rises and the people leave. Just my mic, the sea, and the fish!

Thank you everyone for a great night at Cork Opera House! Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d fill 750 seats in my home city one day. What a privilege to do that talking about the thing I love so much. Nature. You all give me so much hope. See you at the next! Lots more venues to go.

One man in Ireland has set himself an unusual challenge - to record the sound of every bird species in the country. Many of those birds may soon no longer exist. My report on @theworld.org with thanks to @seanronayne.bsky.social Listen back and read here: theworld.org/stories/2025...

One man in Ireland has set an unusual challenge for himself: Record the sound of every bird species in the country. The mission is not frivolous, though. Many of the birds may soon be extinct.

Myself and @seanronayne.bsky.social are giving a sellout talk in St. Luke's Church, Cork, shortly. Such a very special venue, I'm certain the evening will be too.

I have a ticket (1 ticket) to tomorrow night's show (21st March) in St Lukes that I can't use anymore if anyone would like it?
