    Plenty of Herons in Dun Laoghaire if that helps.

    There's 1 around the corner from my apartment block over a complex that's got 2 out of 3 buildings completed...

    It's spread over the highest completed building in that complex... hasn't budged in the 2 years I've been living by there...

    Waiting for the day I wake up and look over and see it fallen over the building next to it....

    :pac:

    The cranes on the hill in Castletroy have become a metaphor for the economic collapse. They're more of a modern art installation than building site now.

    I was watching a program about Seattle today and it showed only three cranes in a city of 600,000. Here, I got a snapshot from it.
