Tree Sparrows in the wall
A pair of Tree sparrows are nesting in the walls of an old graveyard near the coast.
This is now a rare bird in many areas and looks set to become even rarer.
The lack of insects for the nestlings in the modern agricultural landscape is a likely cause.

White-winged Black Tern
This rare vagrant spent the day on the wing feeding close to reeds and lillys of Lough Atedaun , with a bit of swamp wading to a good viewing area of the reed beds the bird allowed us a good show of what marsh terns do.... "my god is it 8 oclock, ive been here near 4 hours"

Common Terns in the sun
A few Common Terns nest around the edge of the colony , being smaller than the Black headed gulls and Sandwitch terns , its probably a safety stragety to stay away from larger beaks
