Fulmars

Its a Good time of year to watch Fulmars.
Anywhere along the Cliffs of Licannor, Hags Head and The Cliffs of Moher as they flies low over the Cliff tops on stiff wings, with shallow wing beats.










Great crested Grebes - Lough Atedaun

The water levels were high at Lough Atedaun,
Not much wildfowl or Swans about, but the game was on for the Great crested Grebes.
Not quite in full show yet as the females were checking out all the males and so forth.

Ring necked Duck -Westfields

Finally caught up with this Ringed necked Duck from North America that has been visiting Westfields NR  in Limerick.
The bird was hanging out with the Tufted Ducks in the middle of the lake.
A few times a bit of sun shone though the showers and allowed me to get a few distant shots
