Delighted to finally spot my first Marsh Fritillary today, at Crosswood Bog. I've been looking out for them for the last few years at different spots.

A Sericomyia silentis (hoverfly) was foraging on a buttercup oblivious to what lay in wait beneath. The Crab Spider (Misumena vatia) can change colour camouflaging itself on its host flower.

There is little or no sexual dimorphism in Swallows, so hard to tell.

Means Of Escape

Female or male bird?

Means Of Escape

A swallow took a wrong turn into my utility room.
Was a unique opportunity to hold this majestic bird before release.
Beautiful colour and as soft as silk .

That butterfly place a nice spot to visit?

Yes, it's a lovely place to visit, but you need to seek permission from Butterfly Conservation Ireland prior to visiting. It's only a small part of a much larger bog/wetlands habitat in Lullymore (just outside the town of Rathangan), Co.Kildare. As well as butterflies and dragonflies, I've seen Pine Marten, Red Squirrels, Hares, Foxes and many species of birds there too. There's a wealth of wildlife and flora to be seen. The website for Butterfly Conservation Ireland is:
