Since discovering that we had a Pine Marten visiting our garden this winter I was overjoyed..
A lockdown project for myself, similar to the Owls back in spring.
I have been putting out some chopped Apples, Rasberry Jam & Peanut butter (It does like Cinnamon Bagels) and setting up the Trail Camera at different locations hoping for a good angle.
You can only try to film Rare Wild Animals at night.
But if you try sometimes you just might find you get what you need!
I was slowly driving a road looking across trenched fields for the 7 Pink footed Geese as this Peregrine Falcon came into my view 100 yards off, perched up on a post eating what I think to be a Redwing.
For a short time it was hassled by a pair of Chough and a Stonechat as the Geese showed in the back ground.
I kept the photos to long range and from the car as not to disturb breakfast on this cold morning
A cold crispy morning with not a cloud in the sky and ground frost.
I did a quick round up of wildfowl at the Corofin Loughs. A 50 strong flock of Whooper Swan were out grazing a usual field in the morning sun just off the road near Lough Cullaun.
200 Wigeon,100 Teal and 70 Black tailed Godwit was the best at Lough Atedaun. A few Goldeneye and a pair of Tufted Duc kwere on Lough Muckanagh along with a Buzzard and lots of Redwing and Fieldfares.
