How many Irish Animals do you know ?

Dr. #HibernicaFinchi's Compelling Compendium of Irish Animals is a wonderful book of common animals around us. If you ask a child or yourself to name common Irish animals, the number would most likely be less than to name common brands of food or clothes we see around us.

Here, you can learn about animals living in the air, land and water in the land you live in and get to know essential facts about size, home, diet and life of those living around you.

Have you heard about:

Air: White-Taled Bumblebee, Common Darter, Marsh Fritillary Butterfly, Lesser Horseshoe Bat, European Robin, European Storm Petrel, Great Spitted Woodpecker, Atlantic Puffin, Short-Eared Owl, European Herring Gull.

Land: Eurasian Pygmy Shrew, Viviparous Lizard, Western European Hedgehog, Red Squirrel, Irish Hare, Eurasian Otter, European Badger, Red Fox, Red Deer.

Water: Natterjack Toad, Purple Sea Urchin, Three-Spined Stickleback, Common Hermit Crab, Atlantic Salmon, Common Seal, Bottlenose Dolphin, Killer Whale, Basking Shark

How about making a pledge to teach your children about native animals this summer and give them a valuable heritage which last for life-time.

Get out into nature and open your ears, eyes and smell the world around you, to experience the beauty of Irish animals.

Through the beauty of nature,
