Up in Dublin for the first screenings of An Irish Atlantic Rainforest in the Irish Film Institute, it was such a joy to get back to the real thing. That said, Gary Lennon's film could not have done a better job of bringing the viewer deep into an Irish rainforest. It's like you're really there.

These stone gate posts and decorative iron gate look impressive. I'm guessing they were part of the original estate round the 17th century Inch House. #hiddenedinburgh #Edinburgh #gates #decorativegates

Baby sandhill cranes called colts take approximately 65 to 75 days from hatching to grow their feathers and make their first flight in their awkward stage they practice preflight training by energetically flapping their wee wings, and doing practice hops.

"Birds are our place-makers, memory-keepers, calendars and clocks. They stitch the world's parts together: earth to sky, river to woodland, mountain to sea, country to country, hemisphere to hemisphere. Without them, things start to fall apart." Writing doesn’t get much better than this book.

The oxygen that keeps us alive comes from natural ecosystems: half on land, half at sea. It's not complicated: we are TOTALLY dependent on the living world. Yet it's still treated as nothing but 'resources', to exploit and destroy for profit.
