Hi everyone, Kez here, I'm really excited to chat with you all this week about my research & life as an Irish Ornithologist. I’ve been working in ornithology/ conservation for over nine years, first with @WWT, then PhD @QUBEcology & now working as a consultant ornithologist. 1/n
I’ve been ringing birds all across Ireland since 2014, & my main focus for ringing is raptors, waders & waterfowl, working with @nirsg and @brentgoosechase. My first love will always be the Light-bellied Brent Goose, but this week I plan to talk about my PhD research. 2/n Image
From geese to raptors is quite a jump, but it was important. Worldwide, raptors are beneficial across an entire range of ecosystem services, from regulating prey populations, providing cultural services… 3/n

1/n @DuhallowBlueDot and @BlueDotWaters here to wrap up our week on @IrelandsEnviro
2/n It’s been an information heavy week, but thanks for sticking with us and following our threads.

ℹ️ ℹ️ ℹ️

We really hope you enjoyed, maybe learned something and were inspired to get involved! 🔵
3/n Water quality is in trouble in Ireland. Almost 50% of our rivers, lakes and coastal and transitional waterbodies are not achieving their good water quality objective under the Water Framework Directive + an even greater proportion of #BlueDots failing to achieve high status..

Hopefully by now we’ve given you a good taste of what #BlueDots are, why they’re worth protecting, what pressures are affecting them and what the various sectors can do to address them.

1/n Hi all @BlueDotWaters here again!
Today we will discuss Forestry Pressures
1/n Forestry is the third most important pressure on #BlueDotWaters
The most common pressures arising from forestry are:
1. Excessive sediment (or soil) inputs
2. Nutrient enrichment
3. Acidification. Image
2/n Most sediment inputs from forestry occur during forest operations.
These include:
· road construction
· thinning
· clear-felling Clearfelling to edge of wat...Clearfelling next to waterw...Drain carrying sediment fro...Legacy forest planted to ed...
3/n Much of the risk of sediment release can be mitigated against by employing good practices such as
· the use of brash matts along machine routes
· planning to avoid wet conditions
· the careful design of forest roads and water crossings,
· the use of sediment traps in drains,
