May 9th - An Evening with the Natterjack Toads

Frank King will this guide us on this special evening / night-time event to observe and listen to the Natterjack toad in it's natural environment in the dunes around Castlegregory.

Glanteenassig Walk

Colin Heaslip, kindly led a group of us around the boardwalk of Lough Caum in the Coillte owned wood - Glanteenassig. The weather stayed warm and sunny for the duration of the walk which lasted about one and a half hours.

April Calendar

As our Newsletter this month says April is a great month to get out and go.
Keep an eye out for returning birds like the swallow, house/sand martin and cuckoo amongst many.   Take a walk along a river to see the swallow and house martin gather mud for their nest and similarly on higher river banks the sand martin will be returning to burrows in the bank for its nesting season, sharing the space with the kingfisher.  I have been lucky enough to see a lovely sparrow hawk hovering over its intended prey recently also.
