Apparently
they have Puffins, Fulmers, Guillemots, Razorbills, Choughs and Peregrine
Falcons all nesting on the cliffs. It wasn’t the day to see anything today
though!
Then we
went down to Doolin Peir. There is often a dolphin swimming around the pier,
but we didn’t see it today. Even if it was there, we probably wouldn’t have spotted
it in the rough seas. We did see a rainbow though that ended right in front of
us in the sea. We also saw a couple of Oyster Catchers.
Driving
down the narrow country lanes, lined each side by Fuschia bushes covered in
flowers, the Swallows were flying along just in front of the car, swooping
right in front of us, keeping really low. Even walking outside, they were
flying at head height, seemingly oblivious to the wind. The Rooks, on the other
hand, were really struggling and kept being blown sideways and were often being
pushed backwards when trying to fly forwards.
Ah, sure its a grand Irish summer day!
ReplyDeleteIt was a very Irish summer's day - the real gale hit later that night, when the whole house nearly blew away!
