The latest UKMO charts have the center of #StormEllen in the Southwest with strongest gusts hitting the South coast between Cork and Waterford. Ellen is one tricky storm to call with a small change in track having a big change in impacts locally but expect damaging gusts! – at Laois, Ireland

I was lucky to have this gorgeous guy visit the garden of the holiday cottage I was staying in. After sunset he'd appear and look for peanuts/seeds that the birds hadn't eaten. #roedeer #deer #wildlife #nature #NethyBridge #Cairngorms #Scotland @VisitScotland

On this date we celebrate Madeiran Petrel day. The 10th anniversary of when Ireland's 2nd record was found by myself & @romclaughlin . It was also Cork's record land based count of Wilson's petrels. #begrudgery 😈 Read about it here birdguides.com/articles/brit…

Rarity finders: Magic Madeiran, Galley Head, Co. Cork

Dedication to seawatching does reap rewards, as Owen Foley's article on an amazing day at Galley Head reveals.

My garden was full of juvenile goldfinch today. They were busy feeding away on the rosemary seeds. Fantastic to see so many fledged! @BBCSpringwatch #goldfinch #birds #wildlife #nature

Red Kite. Persecuted almost to extinction in the UK, the numbers are now recovering due a reintroduction programme and legal protection. #redkite #Scotland #Galloway #wildlife #nature #birds #birdofprey

Malin Head, most northerly station in Ireland, set a new April max record of 21.4 C on 19/04/19, breaking old record of 20.8 from 2011. Big difference from hour to hour depending on wind track. Over sea (E or W) or over land (S or SE).@romclaughlin @EKMeteo @SnowbieWx @barrabest

Malin Head is extraordinary. Just seen @romclaughlin shepherding Corncrake family across road - chicks are very cute and very fast. Take care driving to Banba's Crown xitter.cf/romclaughlin/status/10…
