Twice now I have seen a heron being pestered by a crow in mid flight..This time not 20 foot in the air right above me....and twice no camera with me..not even an iphone..:mad:
Someone shoot me please...;)

When we were running our trout farm here in the BBNP we were constantly visited by Herons trying to come through the heron nets but funnily enough we had 2 pairs of crows that acted as policemen keeping the herons away. In return we made sure the crows were fed.

Great shot Keps. I was trying to track and focus on swallow's tonight but they are super fast and very erratic in flight. Hats off to you. That is not an easy photo to get....well done.

I've got probably 1000s of shots of sky and river with no sandmartins in frame!

One Kittiwake in Port Oriel, Clogherhead among all the local herring gulls;

He/she was good enough to settle on a nearby post:

I was surprised to see a party of Brent Geese still on the Boyne this morning. They were on the Baltray side and I was at the Maiden Tower on the Mornington side. Uncropped, a bit of a stretch for my Nikon P510.

I think it's a Tufted Duck

and I think this is a Canada Goose

Not sure what this is....bit of a mongrel perhaps with a bit of white-fronted goose in it?

thanks Whyulittle:)

Top two are Sandmartins, bottom two are Swallows.

Swallow / Swift??
( does one look a bit like a house martin?)
I think these 4 photos are of the same type of bird – at least they flew together in the same space( although at 2 different times).
