Goldfinch. Yet another reason to avoid spraying or pulling those dandelions at this time of year. Always a joy to see them in the garden gorging on the seeds of this really important flower that sustains so many insects and birds. #birds #wildlife #nature #biodiversity #ireland
Listening to birdsong is good for you - it can help you relax, and is a great way to connect with nature. The dawn chorus is at its best during May - so set your alarm and enjoy the sound of spring! A quick guide (with sound!): bit.ly/3HHgEAf #DawnChorusDay #Wellbeing
