Amy Lewis highlights the measures taken in tackling crimes against Ireland’s wildlife
'Protecting the voiceless victims of wildlife crime is a constant battle.
The ongoing persecution of wildlife overseas is often highlighted but such incidences aren’t as far away from home as one might imagine. In fact, the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) and Gardaí face them each week.
In July, two men were charged before Portlaoise District Court for the trapping of protected wild goldfinches using bait and rat glue.
Meanwhile, an investigation is underway in Louth regarding the unlawful killing of two peregrine falcons nesting in the Cooley Mountains.
However, these and other known cases are only the tip of the iceberg.' Read full article HERE

Did you know
A murmuration of more than six million starlings was recorded in 1999 in Somerset, UK. The starlings manage not to bump into each other because each starling follows the movement of the six birds flying closest beside it, and because they have lightning-fast reactions – under 100 milliseconds – and superb spatial awareness which enables them to fly at speeds of around 20mph without crashing in mid-air.
