    Farms in Kildare.... Seriously though, I needed to photograph cows today as a favour for a friend. I collected the kids from school and literally drove around looking for a field of cows. When I found one I went looking for the farmer, who found me:rolleyes: and was more than happy to bring me over and assist me in photographing them, if you dont ask you dont get.

    Try Newbridge traditional farm up beside Donabate. It's run by Fingal County Council and has lots of farm animals. You won't be disappointed.

    Finglas and Ballymun for horses, and Copperface Jacks for dogs.

    plenty of rabbits in the phoenix park - you'll see them on the military road late in the evening. also saw a badger in the park the other night, it seemed to be having a standoff with some deer beside the road.

    Keep you're eyes peeled for Redwings that arrived here from mid-October and into the Winter months.

    Lots along the grassy areas of the Grand Canal last year.

    there are several pairs of peregrine falcons within the canals, i'm told, but their location is not made generally known for their safety.
