Along the Salt marsh

Back in Wales visiting.
A morning drive along Wenffrdd salt marsh gave us Great white Egret. Green Sandpiper, Merlin, Little Egrets and plenty more.
The tide was a mega low and could not even be seen on this flat open Marsh land. Not the place for close photos, but the viewing is always really good.

Seafield to Loop

I was at Seafield early.
100s of Linnets were on the lines, Oystercatcher, Dunlin, Sanderling, Ringed Plover and Turnstone made up the waders on the beach.
I wasnt content so carried on along the coast to Lough Donnell the morning was warming up.

Then I fell asleep writing this post.
Today 9 days later I posted it .Haha

Birds In the Doonbeg corner

Along the coast of Doonbeg Harbour the road runs right along the shore to a small corner of tidal mudflat and boulder reef that attracts many bird species.
A few Greenshank, Redshank ,Curlew, Dunlin and Little Egret were to be seen  with a little gem of a Green Sandpiper making a show at distance




Oystercather, Greenshank & Green Sandpiper

Green Sandpiper - Ennistymon

During the winter floods a Green Sandpiper has frequented a pool in a field alongside the main road into Ennistymon.
Ive seen the bird on various days as im doing the school run.
Today the sun was out and the traffic wasnt busy.
I managed a couple of shots out of the car window.
