Ballyea Forestry, Clare - Spring birds

Ballyea Forestry is walking distance from home and over Lockdown period became somewhere I now visit weekly. Frankly its hoping with Birds and is producing some nice habitat . Pine Marten and Red Squirrel have been seen, Sparrowhawk and Kestrel have been seen to hunt.

Handfuls of Cuckoos could be seen regular through spring. 

Whitethroat, Blackcap, Grasshopper Warbler, Willow Warbler ,Stonchat and Meadow Pipit all busy with young , Redpoll and Siskin are always seen in good numbers as are Coal Tit, Great Tit and Song Thrush
