Phoenix Park (Dublin)

I live beside the park and i do alot of wildlife photography and have done for the last 7 years i know nearly every inch of it and it is a beautiful tranquill park in early morning when there is no traffic traveling through it, the reason i am writing this is to try promote the beautiful wildlife we have here in this vast park who cares what size the park is, there is an abundance of wildlife here that not many dublin or irish people know about for people who are intrested here is a short list of certain species that inhabit this beautiful..... over 15 species of butterflies,9 of bats,4 raptors, 80 birds,8 dragonflies-damsel,7 fish,turtles,10 mammals lots insects, And personally i think the O,P,W should do more to promote and conserve the wildlife that inhabits this park and to attract more of the winter visitors in redkite32.....
