    I had a visit from a Red Legged Partridge this morning. The shock when I saw something so stunning waddling around my garden. I got a photo but it's very poor quality - through a window and on a zoomed iPhone lens.

    I'm in Co Meath.

    Peacock-2.jpg

    Full disclosure is that I knew he was in the area, having seen him before, and heard him, as he wasn't exactly quiet.

    It's an absolute mystery how a male peacock ended up wild in rural Tipp. I would desperately like to know the how and the why of it.

    I have had a couple of chats with the guy who owns the car in the pic. He said it just turned up in his garden one day as a near chic, many years ago, so he started putting food out and it grew to be something a bit more imposing. It was basically wild wandering the fields and hedges and farm yards in the vicinity. He did feed it regularly.

    I might even have a photo somewhere of it standing on a tractor. I would have loved to have been able to get pic of it walking around in snow. It managed to survive 2010 and the beast from the east.

    It lived for well over a decade, I would say, but sadly died about a year or so ago.

    I absolutely adore this picture. That juvenile robin has gorgeous in-between plumage and the colours around it complement it perfectly, IMO. Plus, look how utterly cute that birdie is! :o

    It's a Great Spotted Woodpecker. Known to be breeding in parts of Wicklow in recent years.

    Thanks HotieMarkii, I saw two birds flitting around the woodland in Slish wood, Sligo, I couldn't make out what they were, they were moving so fast, it wasn't until i pinched out the picture in the camera that i could see what they were.

    Wow! They're obviously reaching more western areas of the island now too. That's great. I wonder would it be worth reporting to Birdwatch Ireland? Maybe you've done so already?

    I wasn't aware they were scarce in the west, i'm not much of a twitcher tbh, but i like photographing birds, I've heard a Woodpecker drumming in the woods twice in the last week in Doorly park which is adjacent to Sligo town.
