    A few of my recent photos. Mostly taken in Dalkey and a few from my local park (Cabinteely Park). Sorry for the large amount of images, I've recently taken up photography as a hobby because of the lockdown:

    Thanks man. I nearly got a great shot of him landing, but he landed a lot closer to me than expected and I wasn't able to zoom out in time. I would have loved to have gotten both wings in this shot:

    He's doing what I call the "batman pose" I saw a chillaxed comorant doing it this morning drying his wings along the canal

    I occasionally see them doing that down in Dun Laoghaire / Sandycove too, but I never seem to have my camera on me when they do. Hopefully this weekend I'll have better luck :)

    Juvenile Great Cormorant, Rock pipit and Light Bellied Brent Geese - part of a flock of a couple hundred I'd say ( I'm almost sure ) at Tralee Bay, Co. Kerry today.

    For anyone interested I found out from Kerry Bird News on Twitter that the type of Rock Pipit I photographed above is known as Rock Pipit littoralis - ("Scandinavian Rock Pipit")

    note the pinkish tinge on the breast in the pic below...

    Great to see the swallows arrive back.
    From one last week to now four this week, like little fighter jets swooping in and out of the shed.

    Not full sure but it looks like a false widow, made short work of its prey.
