In a world-first, Rathlin Island, off the coast of County Antrim, has eradicated ferrets.
The non-native predator was introduced to the island in the 1980s and has wreaked havoc on the internationally-significant breeding seabird colony.
More than 400 traps were laid across the island as part of a five-year, £4.5m Life Raft project, which has also targeted rats. But crucial to the fight to save the seabirds was a specially-trained detection dog, called Woody.
God can be funny,
When told he’ll give you money
If you just pray the right way
And when presented like a genie
who does magic like Houdini
Or grants wishes like Jiminy Cricket and
Santa Claus
God can be so hilarious
