Go raibh maith agat to Aoife and Damien from ACRES West who did a Machair Life project with us today. We had a presentation in class and then a follow up field trip to the duach at Cross Beach.
We learned about protecting these birds:
- Snipe
- Oystercatcher
- Ringed Plover
- Lapwing
We can now identify the birds from their song!
At the duach we identified:
- Sorrel
- Chickweed
- Plantain / Saighdiúirí
- Yarrow with and without flower
- Silverweed
- Sedge grass
- Red clover
- Marsh pennyworth
- Yellow Flag Iris
- Sea holly
A coastal habitat teeming with life!
