View of the Round Tower at

The monastic site was founded by St. Kevin and dates back to the 6th Century. It has a cathedral, a priest’s house built in the Romanesque style and several churches, the most famous being St. Kevin’s Church.

The graveyard beside it has examples of Celtic high crosses and the round tower is considered one of the best in Ireland.

We had a couple of dodgy moments where this owlet got stranded away from the nest box (trying to fly before ready) and had to be assisted back to the box. Seems to be getting the hang of it now!
Shows the value of having people on-site full time and fully engaged.
Nature needs a helping hand.

Barn Owl update.

We have confirmed four owlets, two of which are now fledglings, starting to take regular ‘test’ flights from the nest box.

The only successful ‘indoor’ nest box in Wicklow we are led to believe and the quickest occupation of a nest box according to the self-proclaimed expert! (We’ll revisit that again!)
A stunning success for a red listed species.What we do here impacts way beyond !

Today was the Pride (yes, I know it's July). The parade went around the tiny town and was full of people marching and on the streets cheering everyone on. Some of the shops along the way even had flags on.

It felt so local and joyful! The local sports teams, RNLI, some political parties, and generally a lot of people of all ages!

Fearless baby barn swallow. They fledged from our hay store on Monday and are now very competent flyers.

Why did the caterpillar cross the road? I’ve no idea either. This humongous fellow nearly tripped us up on our doggie walk tonight. He’s an emperor moth apparently.

This summer, we're bringing nature-loving & creative people together for an Arts & Ecology collaboration at Carraig Dulra farm, County Wicklow, Ireland, a nature-friendly permaculture education centre.

Since 2007, we've been trying out ways of providing food & shelter, & community/ education events for humans, without ruining things for non-human life.

"Much easier to say no’: Irish town unites in smartphone ban for young children -
Parents and schools across Greystones adopt voluntary ‘no-smartphone code’ in bid to curb peer pressure"

Seems like a good idea to me.
