Happy #WorldBiodiversityDay !
We're celebrating with an update from our native oyster nursery at Bangor Marina, where the team recently came across some brilliant and beautiful species on the oyster cages. (1/4)
Very tough day for Ulster Wildlife today as we said goodbye to our CEO. Support from our environmental colleagues has been overwhelming and all the messages a lovely tribute to an irreplaceable force for nature. Stopped on the way home for a quiet moment in the bluebells
Scorched Carpet (Ligdia adustata)Fermanagh, May 2024. A new species for me. This is a scarce moth in Ireland and was the species I hoped to see on a recent camping trip out west, so pleased to see three individuals. #moths #moths matter BC Northern Ireland Ulster Wildlife Butterfly Conservation 🦋
