Basking Sharks . Liscannor bay

 A calming  ocean and a sudden arrival of over 20 Basking Sharks could be seen out off the mouth of Liscannor bay.

Spring change. Surfing in Clare

 As the winter passes and the swells ease to and from the south , surfing in Clare shifts from Lahinch which will only show small waves to the challenge of Doolins more open ocean reefs.

The clocks have changed and those evening glass offs are not to be mist. 

The views on the road home aint to bad either.

Surfing just offer you more.

The colour of Golden Plover and Purple Sandpiper

 A nice flock of Golden Plover were shining in the sunlight as they roost on the reef at Clahane .

A count of 9 Purple Sandpiper were to the side of the reef out of the wind where they can go unseen if you dont know where they hang out.

The sun was in the right place and the birds were all showing some nice colours

Spring arrivals at Doolin

A short walk down the `Black hole`, the name given to the bay by surfers where Doolin reef  meets the Cliffs of Moher. 

Wheatear and Sand Martins have arrived to join the Meadow Pipits, Stonechat and Linnets that are already building homes along the small patch along where the Aille river meets the sea.

A surprise overhead call gave away a Black tailed Godwit that came off the sea
