@Bordbia have no respect for Irish Farmers. We are both a resourse to be exploited and a pain in the backside to be tolerated. If they continue to bite the hand that feeds them there will be consequences. It's time they realised they need us more than we need them. @IFAmedia

Great experience doing a podcast with Tommy @outdoorspodcast recently. Nature restoration is a complicated subject, but hopefully, we brought some different perspectives to the discussion. youtu.be/zWIQCV2Tad0?si=Z3Y2…

Worst use of spare man/men by any team in history. KK don't deserve to win this. Constantly lobbing in high 50 50 ball with spare men outside them.

Nice to see a Pine Martin in this part of the farm this morning. Hopefully they can reduce the rabbit population a bit.
