New site causes a buzz

IT’S in the nature of the work I do that I get a lot of press releases, most of which are glanced at and binned.

But when I get one from the National Biodiversity Data Centre in Waterford I always read it carefully because I know it will probably contain nuggets of new information about Irish wildlife and ecology.

The latest one was no exception. It simply stated that hoverflies have now been added to their ‘Pollinators’ website.
