An environmental scientist and former director of Bird Watch Ireland has spoken about the jewel on Macroom’s doorstep, the unique habitat of the Gearagh which is akin to a Grand Central Station for many species of birds. John Lynch, an avid Macroom-based bird watcher or ‘birder’ and naturalist, has set up a Facebook page to chronicle the comings and goings from the reserve on the outskirts of the mid Cork town. “I set up The Gearagh Natural History page, to raise awareness, showing what they can encounter and also to promote the wellness value of connecting with nature during these difficult times,” he said.
