2024 was full of fieldwork, gigs, friends, dog walks and #wooo flair. I’m so excited for upcoming adventures in 2025 but I’ll likely not be on this platform at all. Join me on Bluesky and if not, thanks for the memories - Sláinte, beannachtaí na Bliana Nua.

I’ve had a great weekend at the @BTO_NIreland Conference but today’s Irish Ringing meeting had the networking/ fire under my belly I needed. I’m so excited to renew my contacts and get some brilliant ringing projects next year - including my own (grants permitting). Can’t wait!

And if you are lucky enough to see one in your garden, please report it to @nirsg. I’m still hopeful to find enough nests in NI to add north kestrels to the @IMRingingGroup colour ringing project - then we can finally start to look at their movements within the island!

I went to see the Les Misérables Arena tour tonight and I immediately want to go again. I am a musical theatre nerd, but I think that what I experienced tonight in our wee city was better than anything I’ve travelled to see. Brava, brava, bravissima!

Couldn’t have asked for better conditions for the first WeBS count of the season. I get to visit lots of spectacular places across Ireland for work but Strangford lough in the autumn is my soul food

Having been a goose wrangler for several years, can confirm you can’t just walk off with one. More times than not it’s goose 1 me 0.
Trump: Residents are reporting the migrants are walking off with the town's geese. They've taken the geese and even walking off with their pets. My dog's been taken. My dog's gone.
