    I do recall hearing about a stag attack in the north several years ago and think the following link relates to that very incident: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/northern_ireland/8304593.stm

    Holy crap some man to take on a stag with his bare hands.

    Adding to my early-cover bed for my corncrakes, who will hopefully arrive back in May 2015 after confirmed breeding this year on the farm.

    The prepared area ploughed and rotovated. The iris rhizome scattered and simply stepped into ground and covered to depth of 3cm. Area will be fertilzsed with 18-6-12 in the spring.

    Should hopefully turn out like this and will attract the progeny of my Corncrake Fionn who was calling during the summer.

    Every picture has a story.

    Just after I had taken that wren photo, I heard some real loud screams for help about 50 metres away.

    I hurried to the source and found a woman three quarters submerged in water just below an extremely steep bank on the Liffey.
    Her dog had fallen in and she had gone to try and get it out and had fallen in herself.

    I tried for a bit to pull her out but the steepness of the bank made it more likely that I would topple in to join her.

    Eventually 2 other people arrived at the scene and between the 3 of us we managed to get her out!

    The poor dog took a further long time to retrieve and we did it by coaxing him further down the bank to a place where he could scramble out!

    Never a dull moment
