There were more little egrets than I’ve ever seen in the Lennon estuary today. They were a very rare bird in Ireland 30 years ago, now breeding in most counties, including Donegal. You can see it shuffling the mud with its feet to disturb their prey… #birds #donegalbirding

‘Are there any eels in the River Lennon?’ I’m often asked. This fine sized otter caught two within a few minutes this morning at Ramelton, Nth. #donegal. Always worth looking over the wall after school bus drop-off! #otter #mammals #biodiversity
