It is currently the rutting season for deer and so it is extremely dangerous to approach them. Stags and bucks are most aggressive at this time of the year. Please stay back and give them their space. They are wild animals not pets.

One photo shows the large stag sticking his tongue out while looking directly at the camera - but on another day, things might have ended in tragedy

A very important kit!

Wow! Lidl GB has become the first supermarket in the UK to stock tick kits! And at a mere £1.49, they're very affordable too. 💚💚💚

This feels like a momentous step forward! 🎉🎉🎉

What a dream it would be if other supermarkets such as Sainsbury's, Tesco, Waitrose & Partners, Aldi UK and Marks and Spencer jumped on the bandwagon and also began to stock tick kits!

Supermarkets could ensure that the UK is safe from ticks and promote tick awareness.

For now though, we are just celebrating this wonderful victory. Thank you Lidl GB for setting a fine example. 🙏🙏🙏

Happy Mother's Day everyone! ❤️ Photo taken by our Secretary Vanessa Eakin Photography last year in Killarney National Park!

Happy Mother's Day 2020! ❤
To all the mums out there that are currently self isolating with their children, good luck, you're going to need it and to all the mums out there that are still working to keep us all alive in the midst of the covid 19 pandemic, thank you! xx 💞
