I nearly got clipped by an Audi outside Chawkes. He was travelling at a high high speed between the lanes of traffic followed by armed Gardai and a regular garda car. Further back an unmarked car and garda car and even further back keeping up the rear was yet another unmarked car. The only one of the who could possibly catch the audi would have been the Volvo with the Armed Boyos.

Probably a 04 Audi A4 2.0 Tdi at most.

I like Dexter as a dog name, must keep that one on file!
Saw a mink in broad daylight on main street Patrickswell.

That's not the Lion toy/seat that was for sale in the animal welfare shop is it?

An actual mink? (Dark brown/almost black fur with a white muzzle.) Or an escaped ferret or even a feral ferret?


I ask because I did a couple of tetrads for the 2007-2011 Bird Atlas for Ireland and it would be in one of my areas that I covered for the last four years.

Its just some plush dog toy, I'd say it came from TK maxx, was a gift.

He's all tuckered out after his first walk around the neighbourhood, scared of everything! although he got attention from the neighbours and loved it. Gonna be one hell of a wing dog

Reckoned it was a mink because it was tiny.
Kinda beige/fawn coloured? Definitely wasn't a squirrel. Did a kinda bouncey-pouncey thing darting between bits of cover.

Fur colour would go from the lighter ones being almost chestnut in colour to the darker ones looking black.







Ferret running, look at about 1:04 to see if the run is like what you saw. Ferrets can be light brown, dark brown, white, black, grey and mixtures of those colours.

Strange seeing the photos and videos of mink and ferrets above a Caramel sig!

Naw, ran more like a squirrel. But didn't have a tail big enough, and was long and thin - didn't have bigger round haunches like a squirrel. Don't think it had squirrel ears either.
I'm going with mink! But finding it very hard to tell the difference really, could have been a young ferret I spose.

How many kestrels out that way Kess? I regularly see something hovering near the main road, I'm told it's most likely a kestrel (or several kestrels in different spots?)

Quite a few kestrels out that way. Anything you see hovering along the side of the dual carriageway or as you head out the Cork road is a kestrel. In the Patrickswell area there were at least five breeding pairs this year, and I spotted nine different fledglings in the area (had to check my notes for that:))

They have a very high mortality rate in their first year though with between 65% and 75% of birds dying, so if two or three of those fledglings make it to next summer they are doing well.


Very healthy sparrowhawk population in that area as well, along with Dooradoyle (Kilteragh and Glencairn in particular), Ballinacurra Gardens, South Circular road, and Mungret having very good sparrowhawk numbers in terms of breeding pairs with successful batches this year.

I wallpapered the fireplace wall on orders from the fuhrer. She was unimpressed with my first venture into wallpapering.

I also cut the same finger twice with the same snap blade knife. It's like one of those moments where you are walking up a stairs thinking "I fell on this step the last time" only to fall over the step again. Stupid knife. :mad:

My phone always falls outta my pocket. When it hits bathroom tiles the cover comes off and the battery falls out. I'm always worried the screen will crack. On Friday,

my phone fell IN the toilet

. Thank god for insurance.
