In Maynooth Castle today. Our 2 boys got talking to Tadgh from @opwireland. He led us on a journey through time featuring apes saving babies, garderobes & ammonia dry cleaning, and the Wizard Earl of Kildare. Brilliant! Bringing Horrible Histories to life! @KildareHeritage

We caught this beauty. A Setaceous Hebrew Character, I am told. I can see a weird pair of eyes looking back at me. Many thanks to Chris from Wild Kildare.

E came out of class yesterday with this drawing of the anatomy of a happy fish. #dissection of a Sea Breem will happen next Saturday. Either in a lab or outside. Not in the classroom, I'm told. Sounds messy 👍 E will draw it then and post. #SundayFishSketch #NationalDrawingDay

#Sundayfishsketch update E did the #dissection of the sea breem yesterday & drew this diagram. E really enjoyed the @CTYI. Highly recommended. We also went to the amazing @CBL_Dublin and finished the day doing some water sampling in a local stream as part of @WatersProgramme

This was really cool. I learnt a lot about why birds are important indicators of biodiversity, how lighthouses were useful for citizen science, and how making dead things look dead is harder than you think. Great way to spend my lunch break. Thanks @PaoloViscardi

So E attends a Catholic school (although we have no religion). They do a book called Grow in Love. Today in class they were asked to draw their favourite parts of God's creation. I'm sharing E's as there are such lovely details showing his love for nature. #SundayFishSketch

I'm very excited to see how the dissection and the drawings go. Blood and guts? Pollack with red paint? Can't wait.
This weekend’s #Sundayfishsketch #fishytheme brought to us by @drawanotherfish. Our young artist E is doing his first marine biology course! He’s doing a fish dissection and our theme is going to be “fish dissection" so he (and you as well) can illustrate/post some internal fish.

From my experience, birbs have limited language possessing skills and dead birbs even fewer so my guess is they won't tell us much. Happy to be proved wrong though so I'll be attending.
