You sent in a wonderful video of woodpeckers.
matched
Could you describe it, please?
matched
So you're in County Monaghan, but you don't sound like you're from Monaghan originally.
matched
Did you, when you were growing up, ever encounter a woodpecker, a great spotted woodpecker, which is the subject of the video that we put on our website that we're talking about today?
matched
Yeah, because they were first recorded, if I'm not mistaken, in County Down in 2006.
matched
Yes.
matched
But to see woodpeckers actually feeding...
matched
So the adult is feeding the juvenile.
matched
That's what I'm surprised at because I've never seen that before.
matched
Richard, Terry, have you ever seen that?
matched
I've never actually seen them feeding.
matched
George, thank you very much indeed.
matched
Thank you.

Now, we're going to talk about one of the emergency measures underway to save Ireland's curlews from disappearing altogether.
matched
The population has crashed in recent decades.
matched
If you're a regular listener to Mooney Goes Wild, you'll know that.
matched
Actually, Eric Dempsey does a lot of the bird counts in Ireland, and he's particularly focused in on the curlew.
matched
He made a documentary for us, which we'll put a link to on the website so you can have a listen back.
matched
In the last few weeks, 20 head-started chicks, now bear that in mind, head-started chicks, were released on Lock Corb, hatched from eggs flown in from the Yorkshire Dales, reared at Dublin Zoo and given a safe start before being set free.
matched
Eoghan Murphy joins us now to explain how it all works.
