Had a wonderful master class this evening in Tralee with Seàn and company. The book is out on October. The worring part is the disappearance of our birds due to us not minding our environment. Let Grass grow and allow wildlife back in , is our 1st step. Allow your lawns to mature 🌱🌾🌿🐝🐌

My dad told me that the bird kerpers pf old could 5:33 tell where that bord came from, its spng. You just confirmed this. Thank you. Your work is invaluable. Please get in contact with Sean Lysett noted poet and naturist from Co.Mayo. He will advance your research, his ear is the stuff of legend .
Best off luck
