Completed week 2 of the #BirdwatchIreland Irish Garden Bird Survey - the bad weather this week seemed to keep everything away from the garden so not a great number of species this time. #IrishGardenBirdSurvey #ornithology

Completed week 1 of the #BirdwatchIreland Irish Garden Bird Survey and 13 species identified - it was lovely to see the fieldfares, but the sparrowhawk was the highlight. The robin was the only one that stood still enough to photograph though! #IrishGardenBirdSurvey #ornithology

Difficult to see from the photo but about 14 fieldfares and blackbirds enjoying the apples #birds #tipperary
