I somehow had the morning to myself, wondering what to do, looking at my phone when bing ...a report of a Snowy Owl came through. The bird had been seen and photo`d at Abbey Hill, North Clare yesterday afternoon.
No better excuse to get out, nice weather and a south breeze.
Abbey Hill has a designated car parking area at the start of a very popular walk and with views from these North Burren Hilltops that are second to none.
The only wildlife of note on the hill top was a small flock of 28 Golden Plover.
