Detail from the Art Nouveau gesso panels by Glasgow School artist Margaret Macdonald, c.1907 #WomensArt

Maidenhair Fern near Lisdoonvarna, growing on the wall of a gorge on shale/siltstone bedrock. Possibly the 1st record in the locality since the mid-1800's. Interesting that aforementioned record has it growing on 'the coal measures', an antiquated term for the shale geology

Looking forward to this…@CuanBeo

Looking for some good news? This is the most extraordinary wildlife sighting - right whales have not been seen off Ireland in more than 100 years!
