we found two great diving beetles in the pond yesterday. i see where they get their name, they're huge buggers.

Yeah, they are massive. Found one today in my pond, while clearing duckweed. Looked like something from the tropics.

This beetle was on a plum tree, couldnt get a better angle.

From a recent walk about the UCD Campus

What you looking at?

Butterflies of various types

Swan lake

Thistle

The UCD Campus is really great when you give the outer perimeter a good walk around. pretty sure I caught a glimpse of a sparrowhawk, and there appears to be a nice orchard like place near the creche.

cameramonkey · 02-08-2011 06:05PM

Boeing 747 and Kite.

female partridge or female pheasant???

dont know what the butterflies or grasshopper are.

Great situation played out in front of me yesterday, right down in Sandycove.

A cormorant had been fishing and came up with a thrashing eel!

Then the seagull started getting a bit jealous

Then he started getting a bit shirty

The cormorant gulped it down and chased the seagull off after a bit of a scuffle

Madness Ted. Madness.

Probably housemartins alright. I wasn't totally sure. The nest is a great construction for such a little thing.

Slogger Jogger · 03-08-2011 05:17PM

Came across quite a few frogs whilst doing work in the garden. At one stage there were 4 in close proximity.

I was in town early this morning and it had stopped raining, so a quick visit to Stephen's Green was in order.

- wish I'd zoomed out on this one, but by the time I did he'd flown back to the island in the middle. He was moving around a LOT.

Er no, it's not a joke. I probably should have specified that it was St. Anne's park in Raheny, the little duck pond by the coast road. I imagine it was a pet someone dumped and has somehow survived.

trebor28 · 12-08-2011 10:51PM

saw this lad in a small stream, he was very well camouflaged, approx 3 inches long.
anyone know what he is? some kinda trout perhaps?

I hope he's dead now for his own sake, very sad to see it.

A very tame young Cormorant has been hanging around the anglers at the end of the West Pier in Howth for the last few days. He/she gets a few morsels and barely flinches until people are less than 2 feet away. Speculation is he/she is from some sanctuary type place around Santry/Swords. [Phone pic so quality not great]
