Enquiries should be sent to the editor, Eugenie Regan, [email protected] The huge knowledge base and enthusiasm of Irish ecologists strikes me every time I sit down to work on a new issue of Biodiversity Ireland. Each time I marvel at the energy and enthusiasm of my fellow naturalists. Some achieve incredible projects within their spare time – see the article on Irish diatoms by graphic designer and part-time diatom expert, Leszek Wolnik – and others work untiringly through the public service – see the ‘Something fishy...’ article by Willie Roche who works in Inland Fisheries Ireland. Two really interesting articles reflecting the value of pooling knowledge and resources. And also the important contribution we can all make whether through work or our spare time. We now have a large number of NGOs and volunteer groups The National Biodiversity Data Centre, working on nature conservation, including Bat Conservation Ireland, Beechfield House, WIT West Campus, MothsIreland, BirdWatch Ireland, Dragonfly Ireland, the Irish Whale Carriganore, Waterford. and Dolphin Group, Botanical Society of the British Isles – see the Tel: +353 (0)51 306240 Biodiversity Tales section.

  • Ground-Dwelling Spider Diversity in Rare European Oak and Yew Woodlands and the Impact of Grazing
    Biodivers Conserv DOI 10.1007/s10531-014-0695-5 ORIGINAL PAPER Ground-dwelling spider diversity in rare European oak and yew woodlands and the impact of grazing Lauren Fuller • Miles Newman • Sandra Irwin • Tom Kelly • John O’Halloran Received: 29 May 2013 / Revised: 24 March 2014 / Accepted: 3 April 2014 Ó Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2014 Abstract In Ireland only 2 % of the total land area is native woodland, which tends to be small and fragmented. Killarney National Park in south-west Ireland contains the most extensive semi-natural woodland in the country, and includes oak (Quercus petraea) and yew (Taxus baccata) woodlands which are internationally protected. Here, over-grazing by large populations of red deer (Cervus elaphus) and Asian sika deer (Cervus nippon) have lead to changes in overstory and understory vegetation species composition and structure. This study presents the first description of ground-dwelling spider fauna in the rare woodlands of Killarney National Park and asked (1) do these rare woodlands support rare or specialist species, (2) does deer grazing have an effect on spider abundance, richness and species composition in the park, (3) what management recommendations can be made for deer in the park? Active ground-dwelling spiders were sampled in the oak and yew woodlands of the park by pitfall trapping within deer-proof exclosures and adjacent grazed controls. Four spider species classified as vulnerable were collected from these woodlands: Agyneta subtilis occurred in the oak and yew woodlands but Saaristoa firma, Tapinocyba insecta and Walckenaeria dysderoides were collected only in the oak woodland. Killarney National Park may be important for five species, not typically found in plantation forests, which rely on nationally scarce habitats.

Kerry. The site rises gently from 33m OD at the new access, to 53m OD at the proposed car-park (currently a hard-core area used for National Park maintenance vehicles). There is a timber farm gate and a metal barrier controlling access to Tomies Wood – together with some discrete signage for the Killarney National Park. There is a derelict old stone house in the woods beside the car-park location. The southern section of the access road and the proposed car-park are located within the Killarney National Park – the larger northern portion being on private rough grazing land, much of which is overgrown with gorse or waterlogged.

  • Submission to the Public Consultation on Extension of the Western Rail Corridor
    Ballyglunin Railway Restoration Project Submission to the public consultation on extension of the Western Rail Corridor 17 July 2019 Ballyglunin Railway Restoration Project Ballyglunin, Tuam, Co. Galway. Charity Number: CHY 20265 Email: [email protected] Page 1 of 4 Ballyglunin Railway Restoration Project 1. Introduction Ballyglunin Railway Restoration Project welcomes the inclusion by the Government in the Capital Plan of Phases 2 and 3 of the Western Rail Corridor linking Galway and Mayo, and we acknowledge that the railway will play a vital role in: Providing transport for workers in Galway city, Enabling greater access to education facilities and healthcare facilities Encouraging tourists to explore the wider western region with its many untapped tourism resources, Benefiting commercial enterprise. Allowing the development of Ballyglunin station as a major heritage tourism attraction We are confident that the independent review of the potential of the railway in the context of the Atlantic Economic Corridor will confirm the major contribution that the railway can make in terms of regional connectivity, linking Galway city with its natural hinterland in line with the National Planning Framework. Linking Westport, Ballina, Castlebar, Claremorris and Tuam by rail to Galway will have an enormous impact allowing direct rail travel to and from Limerick and Cork offering tourists proper access to the west and north-west for the first time which would help to balance the spread of tourists over the region as opposed to a concentration in Galway city as exists at present. 2. Background The Ballyglunin Station is situated 12km south of Tuam, and 14km north of the Athenry on the Western Rail Corridor.

  • Rhododendron in the Macgillycuddy Reeks
    Rhododendron in the MacGillycuddy Reeks On a Spring day out in Killarney National Park or the Gap of Dunloe, you won’t have to look too hard to spot some Rhododendron (Rhododendron ponticum) with its striking display of pink flowers. This ornamental plant, once prized for its beautiful flowers and usefulness as a hedge for creating shelter, was planted around Muckross in the 19th Century. Since then it has spread to, or been planted in, many other locations and is a common sight in many areas. It is a species which originated from the Mediterranean and has done exceedingly well in our Irish climate, particularly here in Kerry. Rhododendron is an excellent example of a non-native invasive species, which free from the factors that limit it in its native lands, has thrived at the expense of our own native habitats and species. The old oak woodlands for which Killarney is renowned are under serious threat from the invasion of this species, as are many of the peatland habitats such as the heath and bogs. Rhododendron can form dense thickets, blocking light, shading out native vegetation and preventing regeneration. The National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) have been tackling the Rhododendron in Killarney National Park for many years. In parts of the MacGillycuddy Reeks, such as the Gap of Dunloe and the Black Valley, Rhododendron is also becoming well established. Local farmers regularly comment on the rate of spread over the last 10-15 years. Until recently, no action had been taken to address the spread of rhododendron in the MacGillycuddy Reeks, an area of both high scenic value and high nature conservation value.

  • The Kingdom of Kerry
    Kerry Highlights Small group 8-day guided walking tour The County of Kerry consists of a series of mountainous peninsulas divided by deep-sea inlets. Here is found the Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Ireland’s highest mountain range, centred on the dramatic Carrauntoohil. This itinerary explores the extraordinary scenery of the Dingle Peninsula and the Ring of Kerry. Connecting the coastal peninsulas are a network of ancient routes, many of which form part of the walks that you will enjoy during your exploration of the region. The name ‘Kerry’ comes from the word Ciarraige, meaning the people of Ciar, an early Celtic tribe that are believed to have settled in the area around 300 BC. Kerry is an ancient land with a wealth of historical, archaeological & early Christian sites, some of which date back over 7,000 years. This cultural legacy will also form part of your itinerary, as you explore the history of the region from the Iron Age remains of Dunberg Fort through to the 19th-century Muckross House, in Killarney National Park. Day 1: Arrive Killarney (D) You will be met on arrival at Kerry Airport and transferred to Killarney, where you spend your first night in Ireland. Depending on the time of your arrival, there will be time this afternoon to relax, settle into your room, and perhaps explore Killarney independently, before meeting with your guide and fellow travellers at 5pm for a short pre-tour briefing, followed by dinner at a local pub or restaurant. Your Financial Protection All monies paid by you for the air holiday package shown [or flights if appropriate] are ATOL protected by the Civil Aviation Authority.
