What do you do when you are stuck on a hill with your foot on the brake and all the dashboard lights flashing! Hope and pray!

The house martins have arrived back to #Waterford and are swooping around and repairing their nests! (This pic from last year) Also nesting under the eaves are starlings, bats and a great tit. Yes, I did a happy dance!

The leveret (baby Irish Hare) is thriving in the wild garden. She is often huddled up against the house so that we can observe her every move. Note the huge back feet! When fully grown she will be able to run like the wind! #BanHareCoursing #IrishHare

This is a very young leveret, the offspring of an Irish Hare. They don't live in burrows like rabbits but in the undergrowth, in this case my own wild garden. 75% of them don't survive this unusual upbringing in which the young are left to fend for themselves after about 6 weeks.

A beautiful Jay came to visit and for a while took my mind off the sorry state of the world.

When you know that spring has sprung and it’s time to make an impression. 🌿

If it wasn't for the Peacock being so damn perfect, the Brimstone might well be my favourite butterfly!

At this time of the year the hare is coming and going to where the leveret has been safely hidden. How could anyone hunt and trap this beautiful animal for sport? #BanHareCoursing
