Bird Watching in Brosna Callows

These photos were taken at Brosna Callows in Co. Offaly. We took a trip out there as part of the Field Work module of the BSc I'm doing in Environmental and Natural Resource Management.

They show Golden Plover and Lapwing flocks, some of my classmates, and a 'no hunting' sign quoting the Wildlife Act (never seen that before!)












I must've learned something, because last Sunday I was down the River Field and noticed a flock of birds that looked suspiciously like Lapwing on the floodwater. When they took to the air, their distinctive broad wings and white bellies were a dead giveaway. Hurrah! I spotted my first bird!
