A walk down the Falls

We often take a walk down Ennistymon Falls as a family.
Its a good place for the kids to see Dippers ,which were nest building.
A pair of Mistle Thrush and pair of Robins were active along the river.
Spring is in the air

Ring necked Duck at Ballyalia

I some how missed out on a Ring necked Duck in Limerick 4 days ago, I seen it as my best chance of getting a good photo of this Species but it wasnt to be.
So this morning  I took the chance of looking for the Ballyalia lake bird that had been around a while.It took me some time to find  and Im quite happy to settle with some record shots.

February tradition-- Ringed Brent Geese

It becoming a february tradition that I find a Ringed Brent Goose at Clahane.
This bird was among a small flock of !8 birds present this morning on the  reef.
I send these sightings into Graham Mcewaine of the Brent Geese reasearch group and we should get a bit of info later on
