Knot at Clonahinchy

While watching the Gulls and waders at Clonahinchy , 4 shorebirds landed on the sand further up beach which upped me for a strole to find Knot .

And so begins another season.

Merlin at Clohnahinchy

 A very active Merlin was buzzing about Clohnahinchy beach area trying to catch anything small birds it could surprise, I watched the acrobatics as it chased all the small birds off the reef and field into the air.

 Now trying to photo this at low light is near impossible as the bird is just to quick at directional changes and you loose it, but its great fun

Little Gulls - West Beach Seafield

I took a drive down the coast away from Lahinch  to a few places I know that may be good for Gulls.

At the very south end of the west facing beach of Seafield is Clonahinchy ,  Two Little Gulls (adult & 1st winter) were feeding on the ocean in front of the channel run off.
