    Chillax - I was just commenting about the strands of silk that I saw in the picture. I'm a simple livestock farmer. I know feck all about invertebrates other than doing the Leaving Cert many year ago.
    I though that this forum would be a nice place to learn from and educate myself but it seems one needs a Degree to post here.

    Mod Note:

    Ah lads, I'm not going to get into this in detail here but suffice it to say that every single poster online has a different posting tone. If you have a problem with a post then report it or message a Mod and discuss it. Lets keep threads on topic, particularly this thread where the focus is on pictures.

    They were a few feet apart swimming in tight circle, diving occasionally for something.

    I think I mentioned before about the local guy here who told me about the heron following the cormorant and staying adjacent to it at the water’s edge in the hope the cormorant will ‘force’ the fish to the sides.


    Here are a few pics from this morning which give that some credence – the heron flew down after the cormorant.

    This is 2 frames/seconds later on the camera – and zoomed in

    Heron continues downriver after the cormorant

    More success( this is under a bridge - so somewhat dark)

    These fellas have been hanging around on and off for about the past month in a nearby field.
    Can anyone tell me are they whoopers or something else?

    I suppose these must be Lapwing but I can't see their crests. Long distance and into the sun!
