Join ecologist Cathy Eastman to discover the amazing plants in our area

The Ringed Plover seems to risk all
Whether it is keen anglers, winkle pickers, dog walkers or people trying to get away from crowded beaches, the 'hidden' beach at our home here in Donaghmore, Lislevane, West Cork has a good number of visitors.
It amazes me that people seem completely oblivious to the complaints of the Ringed Plovers.
The Ringed Plover seems to risk it all
Comprising mostly of English ex-navy men, the Coastguard service in Ireland was established in 1818
Ireland was an unpopular posting for Coastguard personnel. Accommodation was considered poor and stations were isolated while education and employment opportunities for sons and daughters were limited. Very few Irishmen joined the Coastguard.
The Coastguard acted as a reserve for the navy, protected the Revenue’s interests and defended the coast by being active against smugglers; ensuring that wrecks were not illegally plundered and assisting the police in discovering illicit stills. None of these activities endeared the Coastguard to the local population.
