Following on from the harrowing but excellent reporting by this week we continue to appeal to you to download the PAW Ireland wildlife crime reporting app.

In the recent budget Minister Noonan announced more supports for combating wildlife crime which was great to hear, but we need to see these come into effect with more boots on the ground and appropriate training for both NPWS rangers and An Garda Suíochána.

Social media also has a responsibility to shut down the accounts of the criminals involved in these barbaric acts of gratuitous violence against defenceless animals.

Fascinating to see the wasps demolish the sweet apple leaving a scattering of crumbs behind. Wasps are as important to our ecosystems as bees and other insects. They like to eat aphids and other plant pests. Some plants protect themselves through releasing a scent that mimics a wasp pheromone. This attracts the wasps in to eat the pests.

St George's still popping in suburban Dublin.

Great mushroom hunt at Killruddery today. Lots of eaters including Ceps, Bay Boletes, Honey, Parasols, Blewitts, Puffballs, Saffron Milk Caps and Scarletinas. Chef Niall served an amazing Cep ice cream and other treats. Thanks to Deirdre Gaffney and Ger for manning the mushroom Pans. And Freda for managing everything and covering Mushroom Dyeing.

An exCEPtionally good day. Good range of eaters and lots of Ceps and Flyagarics.

Mushrooms popping everywhere incl. Tasty Fairy ring champignons.

People often ask how long it takes mushrooms to grow. Well it varies by type but this is a good indicator with Parasols after a three day gap.The parasols have blossomed nicely.
