Outside the invasion of Gulls on the middle reef a few birds were to be found foraging on the south reef with 8 Purple Sandpiper , 2 Greenshank , 15 Oystercatcher and 6 Brent Geese
On the way back home a lone Barnacle Goose was in the field along the river creek at Sandfield

Strange but true, an off season Swallow was buzzing around the reef at Clahane mainly along the cliff side sometimes rapidly circling the bay low and fast over the seaweed, late evening lack of light I stood no chance of much of a flight shot but great to see the day after xmas .
Between a bit off work and parental duties ive been sneaking in regular to surf the the reefs of Lahinch during the recent swells.
