🪶 Met some Red Squirrels in the forest this week that were too busy eating Beech nuts to worry about me. Incredible how small the branches they can travel on are. #wildlifetherapy #Wildlife #nature #naturephotography #naturetherapy #wildlifephotography #autumn #eastcoastkin #squirrel #redsquirrel

🪶 There’s been an influx of Glossy Ibis to Ireland this year; likely due to droughts/wildfires in their ranges in Europe. We get a few each winter but there are flocks of dozens even on the west coast. Here’s one from last week. #birds #wildlife #photography #birdphotography #irishbirding #ibis

One of the White Tailed Sea Eagles spotted on our joint @birdwatchireland.bsky.social Limerick & Clare branch outing yesterday on the Shannon Estuary. Perched in a tree, feeding on some prey. Apologies for the shaky footage, but we were some distance away. Still pretty amazing though 🦅😃 #Birds
