Weekend Off!
I’ve spent the weekend off, I decided to try Irish Tourism. Mostly I’ve been out with some friends of mine from Wales, Ian ("Eazy-Man-Giro, AKA "Squelshy")and Kathryn, and the dogs. We spent Saturday enjoying the blizzard at Clonmacnoise, after visiting the Clonfanlough Stone (see under Ian's foot…). We spent most of Sunday around Meelick Weir, where we witnessed the first Sandmartins of the year.
Today a colleague, Jamie, and I went to one of the local callows where Jamie had spotted the first geese that we’d had on the callows all winter. We confirmed 95 White-fronted Geese, but were not able to get an accurate count on the 10,000 Godwits which were being harassed by a big female Peregrine Falcon and a Female (ring-tail) Hen Harrier. The blurred shot is the Peregrine sitting on a fence directly behind the geese.
So, I’m a just doing a chatty blog today, and hope you enjoy my weekend off….

Crimbo.... ashamed of you! Has "squelshy" ever kicked anything over. We're talking of a guy who can sleep, sitting up without spilling his beer.. lol
Nice timing! Davy, x
I enjoyed your weekend off very much. I suppose you will be working much too hard to be able to spare another on in July?
Jim,
I'll always have time for a weekend off with you! You might have to come out radio-tracking instead of visiting callows and farmers, lol.
Crimbo! Kathryn has broken more things than Squelshy! She's amazing!
Your mate looks like he needs a decent hair-cut... I can recommend a barber.
;o)
