Nature in Ireland

Bird Cherry: It is a little tree or a shrub. It can be about 15 meters high, but mostly a little bit smaller. It smells much from the bark. The leafs are green and 6 – 10 centimeters long. The flowers on the shrubs are long and smell like almond. It is 1,5 centimeters long and it is white. The fruits are 8 millimeters long and almost round and black. 

The tree is attracts butterflies, bees, insects and many birds because of the smell. 

Many irish people plant the tree their fence around their fields, because the animals don’t want to eat it because it is poisonous.

The Ice Age is the time that has maked the nature in Ireland. When the ice melted it goes to the ocean and the nature in Ireland was made. It is also therefore there are so many animals about the mountains and around the seaside.

There is much windy in Ireland, because of the Gulf Stream in the North Atlantic.     

The first persons in Ireland were probably about 9000 years ago. They lived around the seaside, because of the big forests in Ireland. So they couldn’t live in the middle of the country. There were many fish in the water and that was the way to find easy food. Some years later the people scattered to the whole Ireland because of the nature in the internal country.
