Mink investigates Sobocam 2 trail camera. People sometimes mistake mink for otters. Compared to otters mink are smaller, fluffier darker fur (not always) with more pointed facial features. #cork

Judicial reviews are a fundamental part of democracy — not a dig at the Government by greedy lawyersA judicial review is any case taken against any public body that may have broken the law — it's the separation of powers working as intended, writes Cathal Malonewww.irishexaminer.com

Invasive mink on the River Bride this afternoon. A party of three. Otters and at least one fox are not too far away so this little group may be living on borrowed time. #cork

An otter shoves our trailcamera over after giving it a good sniff. Otters are rarely deterred by the presence of our cameras. A good sniffing for a few days and then they ignore them. #cork

Why did Blackpool Village get hit so badly by flooding in 2012 and 2013? #cork

Otter on the Lee this morning. One of a pair. Notice how the hind legs are doing the hard work. We are very lucky to have otters in Cork City. Otters are supposed to be strictly protected in Ireland but the state is one of the worst culprits when it comes to destruction of their habitat. #cork

The government signs up to environmental protections and then pays consultants lots and lots of taxpayer money to interpret these protections in a way that is favourable to whatever project might be held up by these protections.

Cover up the river cheer our local Northside TD's! We really do need better representation here in Blackpool. #cork www.irishexaminer.com/news/munster...

Beautiful Damoiselle in the garden this afternoon. It hung around long enough for me to grab a camera but refused to provide a decent wing spread. Selfish damselfly. #cork

This is the second batch of Great Tits reared in the hole in our bathroom wall this season. I just happened to catch the brood of four leaving the nest yesterday afternoon. You can hear the parents calling to encourage them. Filmed with ultra zoom lens from inside our house. #cork

I see the two illegal scramblers around Blackpool on a regular basis. The hooded and balaclava wearing riders pull wheelies across the N20 junction and cycle along the footpath at high speed. It won’t be too long before one of them ploughs into a car or pedestrian. #cork

Cycling along the Watercourse Rd with a full length mirror under the arm and a shopping bag in the hand. It made me smile. #cork
