    This little fella visited the garden yesterday

    First one I ever seen that wasn't flat on a road.

    Hi guys,

    I climbed up Bray Head at the weekend and spotted this fella, they're not great photos but hoping you could help identify it for me?

    When I started the climb there was a signpost that said you can expect to see a kestrel, I've never seen one so not entirely sure if it is.

    I use an app to identify birds which it suggests a peregrine falcon but I'm not convinced.

    Nice, thanks for that.

    I have the book on identifying birds and wasn’t sure where to look in this instance ha so now I’ll read on sparrowhawk and others I mentioned so that in future I know what to look for.

    Thanks for the response!

    Hi folks,

    Hoping for some help on this one.. my initial thoughts was that it was a juvenile goldfinch, but from looking into it I'm starting to sway towards a Linnet but not convinced.. would appreciate some guidance on this one.

    I spotted it at Bray Head if that helps.

    I remember hearing that the thin house spiders prey on the larger ones. Was surprised and didn't really believe it till I saw this!! I won't be so quick to get rid of them now!:)
