    @ Bernard

    The hoverfly in the last image is Rhingia campestris, the Common Snout-hoverfly.

    Finished work a bit late tonight , but went out on the off chance that I might get some photos. I am very glad that I made that decision , the light was quite low and the Shutter speed was even lower but I managed to get some shots of a new visitor to my Raptor grounds.... A Peregrine Falcon.... Pity about the Wires ....

    Not a photo - but a photo 'heads up'


    Just see that the subject on the 'Photo Challenge' over on the Photography site is 'Grass' which might appeal to some here?

    Spotted this tuft this morning.
    Could it be grass?

    I wonder could it be a young Willow tree maybe?

    Two moths, lost some quality by resizing them but one was to high up in a tree and the other hid underneath a hedge.

    Common Wave or White Wave, hard to tell.

    White Plume Moth, a beautiful moth to watch flying.

    Great photos of the Peregrine, Nightforce. I know you often take photos down by the malahide estuary based on photos you've posted before so I wonder if the Peregrine I saw dive bombing starlings earlier today above the skies of Balheary was the same one as in this pic.

    Not the best Butterfly photo – but I thought Capercallie might like to know that along the Dodder Walk - the 4 mile one way stretch where I have walked regularly recently ( Clonskeagh House to the Morgue) and where it’s feasible – that NETTLES have been allowed to flourish and grow. I’m not sure whether it's deliberate or not – but they are a BIG presence.

    It could have been the bird ok. Where I saw this one was only a couple of miles from broadmeadows....
