Burren Wildlife on the way to Cappnawalla

On my way to the hill tops I came across much wildlife.

Animals such as Irish Hare and  Viviparous lizard.

  Butterflies such as Peacock and Orange tip  , Emperor Moth ,a Leech in a stream.

Birds included Ravens,Skylarks and Wheatear.

 Early wildflowers like  Dog Violets and the Burren special Spring Gentian made up the best of it.

But the best was yet to come!
