In the past few years our own neighbourhood has experienced floods due to rivers busting their banks;
River in flood
We’ve had snow in March;
Daffodils in snow
And exceptionally mild winter’s leading to early springs.

You may say all these things are just vagaries of our Irish weather, but there is no doubt that these extremes in weather events are becoming more common. For now though we are still blessed with a beautiful green landscape that Ireland is famed for. But how will species and landscapes cope if we find ourselves experiencing even more of these strange climatic events.
