Fathers Day Flowers on the Burren

After work , the sun was scorching so my Little ones and myself took a Fathers day walk through the trails near Mullagmore on the Burren
We got to see Goats , Bee Orchids , Fly Orchids and many more

Stoat on the verge

Driving back along the South Lickeen road, a Stoat was busy on the verge of the road 

I slowed down only for the little animal to threaten the car , I was rolling back with the window down shouting to shoosh it off the road , but it was close to the car wheel, it scurried off, back to the verge.

I then realised that my camera battery was flat. I chanced it..1bar flashing. I got out of the car walked up to the Stoat that was eating a frog and it was not threatened about me one bit, I sat next to the Stoat as it devoured the frog while I got a few photos in before the battery died

I then managed to persuade the animal off the road edge from verge of death with its meal.
