The Psychotic Monkey » nature http://www.psychoticmonkey.co.uk Musings from the banana patch Mon, 01 Mar 2010 11:38:13 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 Red Kites return to NI http://www.psychoticmonkey.co.uk/2008/08/15/red-kites-return-to-ni/ http://www.psychoticmonkey.co.uk/2008/08/15/red-kites-return-to-ni/#comments Fri, 15 Aug 2008 11:54:25 +0000 The Monkey http://www.psychoticmonkey.co.uk/?p=147 Fantastic news from the RSPB (here) about the re-introduction of red kites to Northern Ireland. Previously missing from Northern Ireland for the past 200 years, their re-introduction is an important step in ensuring the survival of the species. And if you’re in the area of the Clarkhill Valley then you might want to pop along to Bannastown Road, Castlewellan between Friday 22nd August and Monday 25th August (11am – 4pm each day), or every Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday thereafter, to view these birds in this spectacular setting.

Great news indeed, and another success story for the continuing work of the RSPB with birds of prey.

At World’s End will focus on all things science and nature related, and will also include my own views on these topics. At the moment there is only a welcome post on there, but I’m currently working up the first of my “controversial” posts and this should appear over the next few days. As a consequence of having a dedicated science and nature blog, I’ll no longer be posting here about these. I’ll also copy any relevant articles from here shortly.
