One man in Ireland has set himself an unusual challenge - to record the sound of every bird species in the country. Many of those birds may soon no longer exist. My report on @theworld.org with thanks to @seanronayne.bsky.social Listen back and read here: theworld.org/stories/2025...

UK friends! Tonight Birdsong makes its UK TV debut on BBC4 at 9pm. It will also be available on BBC Player thereafter. Please spread the word! Extract taken from The Times.

All Saints Cemetary @ #CarrsHill. Estimated 30,000 buried here including some of the #Bessborobabies that died in hospital. No burial records exist. What a crying shame! My brother suspected to be buried here. #MotherAndBabyHomes #859Missing #Bessborough

Have a wee look in the mirror, @time-magazine.bsky.social, and ask yourselves one question. Who was more deserving of Person of the Year - an adjudged sex offender, or a woman who incredibly bravely testified against her rapists? Your shame will live forever.

When my 82yr old mother was 17 she was sent to #Bessboro. It was a cruel harsh place where she nearly died & her baby boy did. Her sorry from the govt is £8,000 but she must sign a waiver for it. She won’t, the waiver is an insult.This govt have treated survivors deplorably #GE24 #MotherAndBabyHomes

This is the third instance I've seen of the scheme being advertised in the UK, than Ireland. I've not seen anyone else mention a poster in Ireland about from the one randomly placed one in Cork. 🤦🏻‍♂️ #MotherandBabyHomes
