Alright new followers.
About me,
Been a birder since 2021, might be fanatical about it.
Parkrun will always be great.
Iron Maiden (June 25th, Dublin)
If there’s a new way
I’ll be the first in line
But it better work this time
Raven at work today, mobbed by Hooded Crows.
Perched up for good views.

A very good boy indeed.

Sparrowhawks are the devil reincarnate on FB.
At the same time, nothing wrong with taking feeders down. Might help to clean them.
Feeding the birds means feeding the birds. All of them.

Fun morning around Portrush. Great Northern Diver feeding in Portrush Harbour. Merlin hunting at Ramore Head and plenty of Purple Sandpipers around Ramore Head.
Earlier this month, I actually got my county ✅ Merlin and forgot to post it. 162 for County Antrim. 136 this year.

Decided to Head Out to The Highway, stayed Out in The Cold. Before I got a Fever, got a Painkiller to Take These Chains off from the week of Sin after Sin.

Took a detour on my way home from the city today to look for snowy owls and lucked into one just before sunset. They're such beautiful birds. #birds 🌿

Spent a few hours at RSPB Window on Wildlife today.
Quiet today, flocks of Teal and Shelduck, the odd Shoveler and Gadwall.
Handful of Curlew and Black Tailed Godwit on the reserve.

Considering what my year list for 2026 will be.

Lessons have been learnt from this year.

A higher list is possible, while considering time constraints and trips planned.

Also, I failed to reach 160 this year sooooo

Labour are driving themselves off a cliff chasing Reform over immigration policies.
The far-right now have an official foghorn supplied by Labour.
Racist bastards, the lot of them.
