This episode of In Your Nature is another collaboration with Collie Ennis of The Critter Shed and this week, we're talking all about the Grey Heron!Although amphibian expert Collie has an understandably complex relationship with the Heron, this episode has given him a newfound respect for the species! While they're known as skilled fishers, did you know that Herons have adapted to consume a wide range of prey including small mammals, insects and reptiles? Or that they have small combs on the underside of each foot to help them to keep their feathers in tip-top condition? Learn about this and more by tuning in.An episode of In Your Nature wouldn't be complete without the Bird of the Week slot, and this time, we feature another wetland wonder - the Coot!In Your Nature features Ricky Whelan, Biodiversity Officer with Offaly County Council and Niall Hatch of BirdWatch Ireland and is edited by Ann-Marie Kelly. The series is supported by Laois, Offaly, and Westmeath County Councils, The Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage and the Heritage Council.

We know you'll be itching to listen to this episode, which is a collaboration with Collie Ennis of The Critter Shed. This week, we're talking all about, you guessed it, critters, though not the cute and cuddly kind. Ticks, fleas and flat flies are the focus of this conversation and while the thought of that might make your skin crawl, we encourage you to listen on!Ticks, mites and flat flies may not appeal to most, but these fascinating creatures play a vital role in the shaping of our ecosystems. What's more, these highly-adapted species hold incredible abilities that would be the envy of most superheroes, such as impressive agility and unparalleled resilience. On listening to this episode, you might just look at these parasites in a new light!In the spirit of this week's episode of In Your Nature, we put a spin on the usual  Bird of the Week slot, asking Niall instead to nominate a Critter of the Week. This week's winner is the May Bug, also known by the slightly unfortunate name, the Common Cockchafer!In Your Nature features Ricky Whelan, Biodiversity Officer with Offaly County Council and Niall Hatch of BirdWatch Ireland and is edited by Ann-Marie Kelly.
