OK, not the greatest quality photo, but something a little unusual, a Siberian Jay, taken in Northern Finland. This was taken outside a small log cabin cafe in the middle of nowhere which had a bird table outside. There were four of them in total, one of them ringed.

Just down watching the Ireland match in the kestrel pub in Walkinstown and pigeons went crazy and with that a peregrine falcon flies right past the roof of the pub and comes back around after them again and started to circle the area up high for a good five mins before stopping again. Didn’t see the result but I’m amazed to see one here in Walkinstown.
