Listening to the #DawnChorus on RTÉ Radio 1 with #JimWilson & Derek Mooney in the background with @birdsoftheworld.bsky.social running alongside it to aid identification is fascinating.
Also, the black-headed gull sounds like a gibbon escaped from @fotawildlife.bsky.social.

I want to get up off my seat but doing so would wake the dog and it would be cruel to wake her when she's this peaceful looking!

If Garda Vetting ever covers RPGs, I may need to find an alternative career.
In my defense, there is often a just cause.
