  • A Catalogue of Irish Pollen Diagrams
    SHORT COMMUNICATION A CATALOGUE OF IRISH POLLEN DIAGRAMS F.J.G. Mitchell, B.S. Stefanini and R. Marchant ABSTRACT The fi rst Irish pollen diagram was published by Gunnar Erdtman in the Irish Naturalists’ Journal in 1927. Since then over 475 pollen diagrams have been produced from locations throughout Ireland from a range of sites and time spans. The data from these pollen diagrams can be used to reconstruct vegetation dynamics over long timescales and so facilitate the investigation of climate change impacts, plant migration and the scale of human-induced landscape change. In this paper we collate the available data from Irish pollen sites into the Irish Pollen Site Database (IPOL) to illustrate their distribution and range. It is intended that this database will be a useful research resource for anyone investigating Irish vegetation history. The database also links to the European and global research agenda surrounding impacts of climate change on ecosystems and associated livelihoods. The IPOL database can be accessed online at www.ipol.ie. F.J.G. Mitchell (corresponding author; email: fraser.

  • Carlingford Lough Boat Trail
    Carlingford Lough Boat Trail LOUGHS AGENCY EARNING A WELCOME 1. Please be friendly and polite to local residents and other water users. 2. Drive with care and consideration and park sensibly. 3. Change clothing discreetly (preferably out of public view). 4. Gain permission before going on to private property. 5. Minimise your impact on the natural environment and use recognised access points. There are many unofficial access points which could be used with the owner’s consent. 6. Be sensitive to wildlife and other users regarding the level of noise you create. 7. Observe wildlife from a distance and be aware of sensitive locations such as bird nest sites, bird roosts, seals on land and wintering wildfowl and wader concentrations. 8. Follow the principles of ‘Leave No Trace’. For more information visit:- www.leavenotraceireland.org 9. Keep the numbers in your party consistent with safety, the nature of the water conditions and the impact on your surroundings. 10. Biosecurity: sailors must help stop the spread of invasive species threatening our waterways and coasts! Wash and thoroughly dry boats, trailers and all other kit after a trip. Desiccation is effective against most invasive species, countering their serious environmental and economic impacts. WILDLIFE Carlingford Lough is frequented by otters and seals. In 2016, a bow head whale was spotted off the mouth of the lough and basking shark and dolphin have been reported. Boat fishing for Tope (a shark) and other species is popular in the area. Waders and wildfowl (often breeding in the arctic) winter here, feeding on mudflats as the tide recedes.

    Ballydugan Update Letterfinlay, 12 Lake Road, Ballydugan, Downpatrick, BT30 8HY email: [email protected] To make an end is to make a beginning T.S. Eliot Dear Friends & Prayer Supporters ~ Greetings from Ballydugan The leaves are turning, the blackberries are well out and the swallows have assembled. Despite blue skies, sun shining and reasonably warm temperatures, autumn is here and we have marked our one year of living in Ireland. Thank you for all who have continued to remember us and pray. Coming here has been a fulfilment of many years of prayer and commitment to this land and its people. Whilst we will for a number of reasons be returning home to Northumberland this autumn [earlier than we’d anticipated] we shall continue to pray, visit, support and work with people and issues that remain an integral part of our calling. Primarily for family and financial reasons we are returning this month We have, as I shared in a previous update, purchased a new home in Wooler on the High Street with all its potential challenges and opportunities. High Street Wooler Back Garden Ireland has for many years been a place of great inspiration, particularly for me. There are aspects of being here that continue to inspire and energise. However, having been a place of inspiration it is also a place of exasperation. 1 As I’ve cited before, it is a very paradoxical place and our experience of being here has seen both the best of times and the worst of times. I pay tribute to my amazing wife Shirley, whose support is unstinting and whose grace and patience is unswerving.
