About the Author: My Wild Ireland
My Wild Ireland has been started by researcher Eoin Llewelyn to take one small area in Ireland and begin on a Darwinian journey of discovery. His aim is to record as many different species as possible in the immediate surrounding area and to try and create legal representation by way of photography of their existence.
