Great to see a cormorant back in Milltown
They have been missing for 4/5 months
Probably headed for sea- local fishermen tell me the fish stock in the area was decimated by the floods that followed the snow falls/and hurricane

Cormorant

( PS C'mon Belgium

That's a super shot, keps. In all the years I've been photographing wildlife, I've never managed to get a shot of a Cormorant.
By the way, I drew Belgium in our workplace pool, so yeah, C'mon Belgium!!

Nice find, keps! It's a Dark Green Fritillary (Fritileán Dúghlas).

Took this pic a good bit earlier today and a mile away - but could it be the same?

The wings look different to me. Stunning, though, both of them!

Better again, keps! That's a Comma. I've never seen one myself. They've started to migrate in the last decade or so from Britain and the continent into the southern half of this country.

Was trying to photograph trout in the river with a polarising filter on lens when this guy passed by
Not sure what is in its mouth might be a rat. Trout did not bite

Roseate Tern with two Sprats by Brian, on Flickr

A Roseate Tern with two big sprats in its bill - it's uncommon to see them with more than one fish at a time (less than 1% of instances). It looks to be a good year food-wise for the Terns on the east coast. (picture taken under NPWS license)
