Buff-breasted Sandpiper (Tryngites subruficollis) at Loop Head, Co Clare, today. These birds breed in the high arctic tundra of Alaska and Canada and winter on the Pampas of northern Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil. Occasionally, some young birds get carried on winds across the Atlantic to Ireland, where they feed and recover before continuing on their incredible migration.

Imagine a giant net sweeps through your neighbourhood, completely demolishing everything in its path — your home, gardens, mailboxes, neighbours, roads, cars, pools... Everything is gone. This is what’s happening to fish 🐟 , corals 🪸, and marine mammals 🦭 in the EU’s “protected” waters. Bottom trawlers tear up the seafloor and indiscriminately kill millions of creatures, regardless of species. Enough is enough. 🙅🏽♀️ It’s time to demand that the EU bans bottom trawling in its not-actually-protected areas.
