A swan cools itself in the falling water from the waterfall @ Rathfarnham Weir on the Dodder.

I was particularly jealous...

Great black backed gull

Unless it is a trick of the light, it looks to dark to me for a juvenile Great BB Gull - see here for example. I suspect it might be a juvenile Herring or Lesser Black-backed Gull opportunistically following the GBB Gull and hoping for some scraps.

On the boat rail

For whatever reason, Rock Pipits seem to frequently visit boats. I have seen them flying out even considerable distances (2 or 3 kms) over the sea out to a boat, have a quick look around before flying back again.

Thanks V Moth for taking the time to respond... it may have been the light ok( or my under-exposure) as here is another shot of the same bird from a different angle

Yeah, definitely not a Great Black-back youngster. Possibly a Lesser BB Gull as it looks slightly pale for a Herring Gull, but there is some overlap.

From coastal machair, Is this eyebright as well?

Bonedigger

Yes,that's Eyebright as well.I live close to the Curragh in Co.Kildare and it's absolutely covered with it at the moment.It's a really pretty little plant.
