Home for Christmas for most of the month now which has allowed me to catch up on some of my favourite birding patches close to Home. During the few weeks been back home We've taken a 3 day trip to the Wexford Slobs & South coastline in search of vast wader & wildfowl flocks, local patch birding at Baltray & Clogherhead, Inland birding to counties Meath & Cavan onto Irish peatbogs..... It has been a very busy birding packed two weeks back home.
Here's a selection of images from Dundalk Bay, Co.Louth of the vast wader flocks taken this week.
