The Crow and the Swallow
A crow stands on top of a pole as a swallow flies past him. Those swallows are really hard to photograph, so I zoomed in on the top of the pole and just watched the pole, without looking through the camera. When I saw a swallow fly close, I hit the shutter button hoping burst…
A Scarlet Ibis in Chicago
A Scarlet Ibis in Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago. I love the deep orange colour of the bird’s feathers!
Birds enjoying the sunrise
A simple sunrise this morning. Two birds sitting on an ariel high up over the house had a great vantage point of the lovely colours in the sky.
A Robin in November
A little robin looks off to the left in the grounds of Blarney Castle last November. They’re a friendly bird.

Emi the goose saying hi at Carbery Cottage B&B. We were feeding the ponies and I think he wanted some of the food!

A swan swimming by my side as I walked along the path.
Blackbird in the bushes
A very busy blackbird stopped still for 5 seconds so I could catch a photo of it. He was digging around, throwing up leaves and hunting around between branches. Building material for a nest perhaps?
Robin Calling
A robin calling out in the grounds of Blarney Castle today.
The Crumb Patrol
A crow watches for crumbs on the ground at the Blarney Woollen Mills today. The white gazebo/tent is gone but it was good to see the (permanent?) outdoor covered seating next to the building still there.
