It would be nice if you could add a few minutes and do one for each town in Laois.
great
Nice
47:44 About slugs. I had a battle with slugs last year and the only thing that I found to be effective was a slug fence, it doesn't kill them. I tried all the different methods and spent hours researching the problem. This year I won't use a slug fence, I will just grow plants that slugs don't like to eat as batteries for my slug fence are expensive and are definitely not good for the planet.
Great video, concise and accurate . Is there as much value in using coniferous wood? I acquired some from nextdoor after they had the landscapers in, but I gather resins are present in higher quantities. Will this lead to different assemblages of species and, or, slower decay? Many thanks
Well worth a visit.
You know, with the new library being built, its kinda crazy and eerie how this genuinely will go to plan and see how this town changes from depression to satisfaction.
I don't use bird feeders as this artificially distorts the ecosystem - inflates bird numbers at the cost of invertebrates and pollinators who are eaten at much higher amounts due to fed birds. My bird numbers are increasing naturally with native trees and habitats containing seeds and insects - no pesticide produced bird feed - no disease at feeding stations either.
Is there a transcription of the grave stones? or are any of them still legible?
Mum was from Ballinakill,we visited often lovely peaceful towns🙏❤️🙏
Great film
Most ppl don't realize how beautiful and rich with diversity the earth was before we paved it over. I'd like to bring it all back. I started with my own ponds in my yard. They're amazing.
nicely done ~ as an American tourist, this is the way i prefer to visit Ireland ... in the quiet, away from the crowds, simply taking in the beauty of the country and its history. go raibh maith agaibh!
Saluti dall'Italia...👍👏👏👏💙...Amo i piccoli passeriformi...

It is vitally important NOT to place feeders too close to windows as that is window strikes waiting to happen. I learned this the hard way. It is recommended to place feeders 30 feet from windows! Window strikes is a main cause of death to birds💔
Mistakes happen Franz. Thanks for the heads up though I was considering one of these window feeders. I'll stick with planting bird attracting bushes and insect attracting flowers.
simply not true. you can draw vertical white lines on your windows using a glass marker (drawn externally) or chalk pen (drawn internally) with 2-3 inch between each line, the birds can detect this is not a passable object. I've noticed nearly no strikes on my windows after drawing lines on the inside of my windows with chalk pens. I have my feeders screwed into the rooftop overhang, so that I can top them up simply by opening the window, I have found it absolutely incredible for my mental health. I could not say the same if I was to keep the feeder 30 feet from any of my windows. Just make sure your window doesn't look like a clear glass pane, draw some vertical white lines the birds will not fly into your windows, theres a popular video I saw it on.
It’s illegal to feed wild animals. Birds are not the biggest pollinators.. butterflies are and the more birds there are - the less butterflies there are because birds hunt & kill & eat butterflies. Besides the above, water and birds attract coyotes.
Looks so interesting, but “music” is too distracting.
Nah town will actually be way better if this acc happens
My dad says I'm a Laotian
My father came from Donaghmore R.I.P.
Wildflowers are my favourite. 🖤🌼
It's the stuff they are spraying in the sky's from aircraft. During the summer I had 4 or 5 lay dieing on my street. The sky was full of chemtrails
What kind of schooling teaches you all of this?
Beautiful, nicely done. That's really helpful for my plans to plant a little, native hedge. Greetings from Chislehurst, S.E. London/Kent border and thanks very much!
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it!
Murder hole bowls of porridge and 🤣🤣🤣
Liberalism is sin.
Liberal Commie priest who doesn't promote the teachings of the Catholic Church. Not a real priest.
Congratulations Teddy and thanks for all you do for Portlaoise and Laois.
My mother was born in Rathdowney and I have relatives at Stradbally. Not worthy of mentions ?
All the towns and villages of the county are important, of course, though not every place can be mentioned in one short video.
@@LaoisHeritageForum Thanks for noticing. I have very fond memories of visiting Laois in 1969, 1974, 2007 and 2015.
Was Stradbally not mentioned enough?
Fantastic performance by Alain Carroll👏
Nicely presented.
My father was from Donaghmore.
Thank You keep getting these beautiful tiger striped like birds might be a finch or sparrow Dark Browns Oranges Black
Hard to know Jason, whereabouts are you based?
IT WASN'T A GREAT HUNGER IT WAS AN HOLOCAUST TO GET RID OF THE IRISH PEOPLE FROM THE LAND SO IT WOULD BE TAKEN OVER BY ENGLAND THEY TRIED TO STARVED THE PEOPLE OUT SO THEY COULD HAVE THE LAND AND END THE IRISH QUESTION .GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT OUR DAY HAS NOW COME FROM THE 6 COUNTIES SOLD OUT ..
It's nice save other bees
Your videos are awesome, John. I am going to share this with a lady I enjoy watching - Lesley the Bird Nerd. I know she'll enjoy your content. If you get a chance, check her out, too. Take care.
Thank you. Am considering swallow and batboxes. Helpful info.
Delighted you found it useful Esther, thanks. Have you seen the Saving Swifts book at laois.ie/departments/heritage/biodiversity/swift-conservation/ - lots of helpful practical tips there, and info on batboxes here: laois.ie/departments/heritage/biodiversity/nest-boxes/
Thank you. I find your texts on the ends of the videos to other organisations and their publishings/sites also very helpful. And respectful, to them and the wildlife. The texts could be shown some seconds longer. Your main goal is clearly "wildlife" and not your own airing time on Y.T. Well done. I subscribed. P.S.: landed on you through Joel Ashton's videos "Wild Your Garden".
@@EdurtreG that's good to know Esther, will keep it in mind for the next videos. We really appreciate your support.
Where is all the parking tho?
The full plan is at the link below, and contains all details laois.ie/departments/planning/portlaoise-town-centre-public-realm-strategyvision-statement/
@Conor Keogh, Portlaoise has a mind boggling amount of surface car parking. It needs to be drastically reduced for the well being and future of the town.
Well one is underground from the video itself
Very good, thanks.
Thanks - glad you enjoyed it!
You’re leaving out the use of native trees that support the most caterpillars and pollinators. Probably the native Oaks would be the most productive.
Thanks for your comment. This video is part of a series on Gardening for Biodiversity - have you seen the video on planting native trees for wildlife? That one covers the importance of native trees
@@LaoisHeritageForum no I haven’t

@@LaoisHeritageForumWill watch this next 😊

I think conifer Wood can be equally valuable as a shelter, even if it breaks down more slowly, and having different woods at various stages of decay in your pile is also valuable. If you use what you have and observe how wildlife uses it, you could learn lots about your own local wildlife too. Hope that helps!
Fantastic video. Thanks!
Top !!!! Vielen Dank für dieses Video. Eine Erinnerung an diese tollkühnen Piloten .
Well done all.
Thanks Alastair!
This is amazing I can't believe you've had no comments so far! I'll definately be giving it a try.
Very nice. Good info. Thank you.
Thanks Patrick, glad you enjoyed it,
Great job sir Huge respect from PAKISTAN
Sofia Naz, look at bird bath
👍👏💖
well worth a visit..
