Any of you good people on Bluesky? Let me know and I'll follow you. bsky.app/profile/donogh…
I was right, Mom was nearby keeping an eye on these two 🩵🩵 #Birds
First bird of my day was one of the Bluetit Fledglings. Then a second. First time I've seen them on their own. Still a little bit awkward when it comes to flying about. But I'm sure mom is still probably somewhere nearby. #FirstBirdOfMyDay #WhatsYours
This view means it must be Friday again. Have a lovely weekend everyone 💚 #Kilkee #WildAtlanticWay
Small Tortoiseshell (Aglais urticae) Ruán beag. Showing off for me today 😍 #Butterfly
Swifts, House Martins & Swallows. My favourite summer soundtrack 😃
So lovely to hear a Willow Warbler out our back garden this morning. Whilst they're one of Irelands most common summer visitors, they're a very rare visitor to our garden in the suburbs of Limerick. Here's a photo of one from our @BirdWatchIE outing to Doon last April 💚

Spotted in our back garden yesterday between the heavy rain showers. Trying to warm up in what little sun there was 🦋 #Butterfly
Back to the rain this afternoon 🌧, but the sea was calm, so time for a spot of Dolphin watching 🐬 #Kilkee #WildAtlanticWay
Escaped to West Clare for a few days. Hope you all have a lovely weekend ❤️ #Kilkee
Ciao Francesco!! In your beautiful neighbourhood again @FdaMosto
Caught Red-handed. Or should I say Red-tailed. Ruby Tailed Cuckoo Wasp (Chrysis ignita) Waiting for a Solitary Tube Wasp (Ancistrocerus gazella) to leave so it can pop in and lay its own egg in the Solitary Wasps egg. Nature can be cruel. #SolitaryWasps
Leafcutter bees. Still hard at work in the back garden 🍃💚 #bees #solitarybees
Figwort growing out our back garden in #Limerick #wildflowerhour @BSBIbotany
Such a treat to see Choughs with their young today in West Clare ❤️ @BirdWatchIE
Super joint Clare & Limerick @BirdWatchIE outing to Loop Head today. Great scenery, great weather & so many birds to see. Guillemots, Razorbills, Kittiwakes, Fulmars, Shags, Gannets to name just a few. Even Ringed Plover. But my favourite has to be the Choughs with their young❤️
Cuckoo spit on the Catsear out the back garden #Wildflowers #UrbanGarden #LetItBloomJune #Limerick 💚
Spotted a Cinnabar moth taking a little break on our front wall today 😍 A common moth found throughout Ireland, but a not so common visitor to our garden. #moths
