Thank you to the Lennon & Whelan family for hosting the events & all at the The Full Shilling for their continued support. Thank you to all the local businesses who donated water, spot prizes, confectionary and vouchers for the raffles and auction. The walk could not take place without the presence of the Ballyglass Coast Guard and An Garda Síochana. Thanks to the neighbours in Glencastle, Patrick Rowland, John McAndrew, Mags Lennon, Peter Carey, Stephen Gaughan, Tommy Joe Murphy and the Carolan Family for their help and support for the weekend. 1st woman home on the 6.3km loop was Linda McAndrew Togher & 3.5km loop was Ruth Walsh. 1st man home on the 6.3km loop was Leo Howard & 3.5km loop was Seamus Howard.

Broadhaven Bay Marine Mammal Monitoring Programme 2016 Risso?s Dolphin Tracking
On the 4th of June 2016 the Broadhaven Bay Marine Mammal Monitoring Programme had both research teams working on either side of the bay. One team was situated on Erris Head and the other team was situated near Slugga rock. The team on Erris Head first spotted a pod of Risso?s dolphins in the bay early in the morning. They saw at least four animals close to Erris Head, as these dolphins were travelling inside the bay. The team on Slugga soon found the same pod of animals and were able to track their movements for one and half hours. The pod was very spread out and small groups of animals could be seen right across the bay. The dolphins were first observed at a distance of 7km from Slugga and they were tracked as they moved across Broadhaven Bay towards the team. The animals came within 300 meters of Slugga and the team were able to get some close up photos of the entire pod, all 25-30 animals, as they passed close to the cliffs. Risso?s dolphins as seen from Slugga, 54m above sea level. Note how pale some of the animals are. This is caused by scarring from other dolphins. Risso?s dolphins engage in ?social scratching?and their large sharp teeth leave permanent scars. The scars become extensive with age, the older the animals are, the more scarred they become. Risso?s dolphins (Deilf Liath) (Grampus griseus) are medium sized dolphins (2.6-3.8 meters) found in the waters around Ireland. Risso?s have been recorded at all times of the year but it is thought that they move inshore, to more coastal waters, during the summer months. These dolphins have a large, round bulbous head, and a very large sickle shaped dorsal fin mid-way along their backs. Risso?s have a lot of scaring on their bodies and can appear almost white. These pale scars are quite normal for this species as they are caused by interactions between individuals.

Our teams working in Broadhaven Bay use a specialised computer programme called VADAR (Visual Acoustic Detection and Ranging software) along with a surveyor?s theodolite, to pin point the precise location of the dolphins. The information from the theodolite is sent to VADAR via a series of cables, and the positions of the dolphins are plotted on the screen in real time. We record information such as the distance of the animals from the teams, their traveling speed and course, and their behaviour, which can all be determined using our equipment and software. Risso?s dolphins are relatively slow swimmers and are sometimes seen spread out in a long line when hunting. They can be quite surface active, leaping clear out of the water and slapping their tail flukes at the surface. Fun Fact: Risso?s dolphins breed in Irish waters, there is record of a calf born in Blacksod Bay from the 1930?s (www.IWDG.ie).

Mid-summer has arrived and the garden is now full of colour. Summer bedding will be at its best and hopefully you will have the time to relax and enjoy your garden. Things to do in July: Water hanging baskets and planted containers. This will need to be done most days. They should also be fed about once a week. Deadhead flowers regularly. This will encourage more flowers. Plant autumn flowering bulbs. Keep roses sprayed to keep pests and disease at bay. Prune late spring flowering shrubs immediately after flowering. Plant out seedlings and rooted cuttings. Harvest fruit, vegetables and herbs. Feed perennials and shrubs with a granular fertiliser. Trim hedges. Continue to mow your lawn frequently. Clean paving slabs. Water newly planted shrubs if conditions are dry. Fences and exterior woodwork should be treated. August August is a time to relax and enjoy the fruits of your labour in the garden. There are still tasks to be completed but these are generally light.

Austrian Open Title for Blacksod's Maguire Blacksod native
Eddie Maguire made golfing history in Vienna last week when he became the first Irish person to win an Austrian Golf open at any level. The event was staged at the iconic Sussenbrunn GC outside Vienna, and featured an elite field competing for the Austrian open for blind and visually impaired golfers. Eddie has been visually impaired following a serious accident some years ago,and only started to play golf again in recent years. British Open Next on the Agenda - Eddie's final winning margin after 3 days was 3 strokes over local favourite Austria's Karn Becker,and Gerhart Berghant of Germany. Maguire is also the current italian Open champion and leads an Irish team of 5 golfers to next week's British open at Telford,Shropshire. The British Open for visually impaired golfers has yet to be won by an Irish golfer so fingers are crossed that an Irish golfer will prevail,in Shropshire. The opposition will be powerful with at least 6 former scratch golfers competing and countries such as Sth Korea, USA, China, Israel, Australia, GB,and many other countries. BBC TV will be doing a highlights on the Championship.
