Species #7: Holly Blue Butterfly A small blue butterfly, that stays close to hedgerows that contain Holly and Ivy. It should be the only blue butterfly flying just now. Record your sighting: records.biodiversityireland.ie/record/biodive… #farmlandbiodiversity @PollinatorPlan
It was lovely to celebrate #OchardBlossomDay @IrishSeedSavers Nice to see this busy Common Carder Bumblebee pollinating apple blossom, helping to ensure a good crop later in the year 🌸🐝🍎🍏 🎥 Ruth Wilson #farmlandbiodiversity

We don't need much persuading to celebrate the humble Dandelion for #wildflowerhour @BioDataCentre records show this native wildflower was the most popular food source for bees on the island of Ireland in 2023 #DandelionChallenge #InternationalDayoftheDandelion 📷Cathal Noonan
🐝Pollinator of the week: Orange-legged Furrow Bee 🌼Plant of the week: Meadow buttercup ✅Action of the week: Get ready for No Mow May Find out more about pollinators in April➡️ tinyurl.com/sm5yewuc
It's nearly #NoMowMay. Time to put away the lawnmower for a whole month & let native Irish wildflowers grow But mowing less all summer is one of the best things you can do for pollinators. So why not try #LetItBloomJune & #HelpThemFlyJuly ? More here➡️ tinyurl.com/36u9bjxz
What’s really in your 'wildflower' seed mix? A new study by @noeleenbotanics of @ucddublin reveals only 25% of species in 7 common wildflower seed mixes are native to Ireland. None of the packets gave details of where the seed was sourced More here ➡️ tinyurl.com/42xu4jzf
Q: Would you recommend honeybee hives for our business site? A: Please consider an *evidence-based action* e.g. reduced mowing & lift cuttings instead tinyurl.com/2d3zps9m Honey bee hives = wonderful hobby but NOT a biodiversity action tinyurl.com/mr2b4vxt @BioDataCentre
Dandelions are a valuable source of nectar and pollen for pollinators. The simple action of leaving some Dandelions to flower and set seed around the farm can help pollinators. Record your sightings ⬇️ bit.ly/4a4dSRD #farmlandbiodiversity @PollinatorPlan
A nice surprise on saturday was finding Andrena rosae at another Irish site, also in Co. Carlow. Two females were found, one was a dark specimen, the other was more typical-looking. The 'redder' female was busily foraging on Hawthorn and wasn't in the mood for being photographed!

Help restore native meadows by reducing mowing to just once a month You don't need a big garden. You don't need to buy wildflower seed mixes. Real, native wildflowers are already in the soil, waiting for a chance to grow 🐝 More here➡️ tinyurl.com/mr36mz25 #EarthDay
🐝Pollinator of the week: Common snout hoverfly 🌼Plant of the week: Bluebell ✅ Action of the week: Do a Flower-Insect-Timed Count Find out more about pollinators in April: tinyurl.com/sm5yewuc
The Common Bluebell is one of our best-loved native wildflowers Our Farmland Officer tells us more about these beautiful plants, 'nectar-robbing' bees, and why they're under threat from the imported Spanish bluebell pollinators.ie/its-bluebell-s…
Q: How do we find out what’s happening for pollinators-biodiversity adjacent to our business site? A: Contact your local Biodiversity Officer tinyurl.com/4f8yce4p & see Actions for Pollinators tinyurl.com/382e5tdk & Action for Biodiversity tinyurl.com/2n5mx2k7

Dandelions are a fantastic source of nectar and pollen for Scotland's pollinators. Leave some dandelions to flower, and bumblebees, hoverflies, butterflies, solitary bees and beetles will all benefit. Hang on to dandelions, and congratulate yourself on helping our pollinators.
Holly and Ivy are the food plant for the Holly Blue butterfly larval stage. The flowers are also important for pollinating insects and the berries are a valuable food supply for wildlife in the winter. Find out more: biodiversityireland.ie/surveys/biodiv… #farmlandbiodiversity
Species #7: Holly Blue Butterfly A small blue butterfly, that stays close to hedgerows that contain Holly and Ivy. It should be the only blue butterfly flying just now. Record your sighting: records.biodiversityireland.ie/record/biodive… #farmlandbiodiversity @PollinatorPlan

It is important we know where our wildlfower seeds are from and not increase the spread of non natives into our wild and green spaces
What’s really in your 'wildflower' seed mix? A new study by @noeleenbotanics of @ucddublin reveals only 25% of species in 7 common wildflower seed mixes are native to Ireland. None of the packets gave details of where the seed was sourced More here ➡️ tinyurl.com/42xu4jzf
People are keen to do their bit for nature, which is great, but some of the popular actions like 'wildflower seed' mixes, do more harm than good. Much better to work with what's already there. pollinators.ie/whats-really-i…
Great to highlight the issue of “fake” wildflower mixes .. these mixes are cultivated flowers nothing to do with the wild .. they have potential to impact our true local wildflowers through genetic erosion and possible new invasives ! @PollinatorPlan @UCDHort

Dandelions are a valuable source of nectar and pollen for pollinators. The simple action of leaving some Dandelions to flower and set seed around the farm can help pollinators. Record your sightings ⬇️ bit.ly/4a4dSRD #farmlandbiodiversity @PollinatorPlan
A nice surprise on saturday was finding Andrena rosae at another Irish site, also in Co. Carlow. Two females were found, one was a dark specimen, the other was more typical-looking. The 'redder' female was busily foraging on Hawthorn and wasn't in the mood for being photographed!
Yesterday I managed to find Andrena rosae in Co. Carlow. It was considered extinct in Ireland, with the last sighting in 1977. Pictured here is a female and her nesting site, which appears to be one of the only observations of this species' nest in Britain or Ireland.
There's something very satisfying about the contrast between a mown path and a sward of long grass (managed for #biodiversity by @QUBelfast @greenatqueens) It's its first year and will be fasinating to see how it evolves.
Blackthorn flowers at a farm in Co. Offaly. Blackthorn is wonderful for wildlife, but not always a favourite for people managing hedgerows due to its sharp thorns and suckers! It provides vital early flowers for our bees, and the thorns help to protect nesting birds 🪺
Wild cherry has almost white flowers in the spring and later cherries will hang from the branches. Include as a tree in a species-rich hedgerow or as a tree in a non-farmed area or field corner. Find out more bit.ly/3TZxorU @PollinatorPlan @agriculture_ie
A small cuckoo bee, probably our most common Nomad bee in Ireland. It uses the nests of other solitary bees, like the Chocolate 🍫 mining bee, as a host species. Record sightings ⬇️ bit.ly/4a4dSRD Find out more ⬇️ bit.ly/4cSXmFN #farmlandbiodiversity
So far only recorded in the east if the country - but doesn't mean it is not in the west
