And also this one of a Kittywake down in Dunmore East:

To get your images to display, sign up to something like photobucket, pix.ie or flickr. Load your photos up, copy the img address and insert/edit the image in to the post. Please try to make them less than 800 pixels wide and not too big (below 250kB should do fine).

A few from Inis Mór this weekend. Not great quality as the camera was handheld and zoomed to the max.

A seal having a nice old time

Heron and seals.

Mute swan and a pair of whoopers? I assume the babies are mutes.

Moorhens? They were pottering around a few minutes earlier with babies in tow but I couldn't get close enough toget a good pic.

Oystercatchers? Noisy gits.

Whooper swan extremely rare breeder in Ireland, so must be mute swan's cygnets.

Just looking at the map on birdwatchireland it looks like it's rare enough for them to be here at all in the summer. I'll see if I can get a closer look at them tomorrow.

Sorry, a slight thread hijack here but I couldn't think where else to put this without starting another thread. Technically they are some pictures that I took recently but they are pictures of pictures. Bird/wildlife paintings published by Shell in the 1950s which some of the younger among you may not be familiar. The thread is here in the Collectibles & Antiques Forum: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055846663&page=6

I was working on the bog today when I saw this little red moth, as I took the photo the beetle walked into the frame by chance, then a dragonfly snaped the beetle up and flew a few feet away where he landed and started eating it, amazing to see...........

The moth is Cinnabar Moth. The orange and black caterpillars eat Ragwort and are poisonous hence the warning colours of the adult.
The dragonfly is a female Hairy Hawker.
I'd like to log these records in the national datasets (I can forward the dragonfly record to relevant person)
Would you PM me location and grid reference?
www.gridreference.ie is useful for looking up grid ref.

Yeah, they're beautiful. There is a family of them around my place. It's good to see, and they have such a nice little call, too.

Here's a house martin. It's been a lovely summer so far, though maybe there hasn't been enough rain for some people's liking.

I never knew there was lizards in Ireland, it's a nice surprise.

Growing up in the country you would catch one now and again. Hardy creature for this climate in winter.

Female Blackbird? Been hanging around our front garden the past few weeks, stealing cat food! Just hoping it doesn't become cat food itself.

I spent the day at the Cliffs of Moher and saw all sorts of birds but the only half decent photograph I got was of a moth :rolleyes::pac:
Six Spot Burnet I think (maybe should be in the moth thread rather than here?)
