Welcome to Saturday's Critters!
Hello and happy Saturday!
If you love all God's creatures like I do and also like to blog about them and take critter photos this is where you can share your critter post. Link up your post and share your critters, join in with my critter party ! You can share any kind of critters the real ones, pretend ones, statues and paintings, a new or old post!
September already and I am still sharing photos of the birds and critters seen in Ireland. Leaving Dingle, we drove along the Dingle Peninsula, Ring of Kerry and were heading to our next place to stay in Killarney.
1. May 13th Another stop was for lunch, we stopped in Portmagee, hubby and I had a nice lunch in the Skellig Seafront Cafe. We walked around the coastal town being followed by a cute kitty, it is a nice village with pretty views. You can catch a boat tour here to the Skellig Islands which is a UNESCO Heritage site.
Thanks to YAM and Margaret for the Black Guillemot confirmation.
I believe this is a Grey Wagtail, we saw this bird near the Torc Waterfall in the Killarney National Park.
I hope you enjoyed these photos from Ireland. Thank you for sharing your critters and post!
Thanks to all my visitors and for your past and present comments. Stop back to see any replies to your comments. I appreciate everyone who loves and respects wildlife. Thank you for linking up a critter post.

Happy weekend and happy captures!

DeleteEileen another great selection of photographs from your trip to Ireland These AUK are Black Guillemot NOT Common Guillemot and it is a Grey Wagtail indeed Always a lovely bird to see and it is not seen all that often here. Thanks for hosting and I hope you have a lovely week ahead.
ReplyDeleteThank you Margaret, I appreciate the link and comment.
DeleteThanks also for the id help. Take care, have a great weekend.

ReplyDeleteYou really did see some wonderful sights on that trip - The white patch on the seabird says it is Cepphus Grylle, known here as the Black Guillemot and which I think in America is also called Guillemot; while its close relative is Uria aalge, with no wing patch, which is the one I believe in America is called the Murre... does that help? YAM xx
Thank you YAM, I appreciate the link and comment. Thanks also for the id tips and help. Take care, have a great weekend.

ReplyDeleteAnd I love sheep. So long ago since I saw them.
We even had a "chats" with them when Ingo still lived in the village, so cute.
And donkeys... so cute. I read a true story about a family who adopted one, hilarious! Such sweet, clever animals, if stubborn.
I´d love to touch an alpaca...
Yes, I did enjoy immensly, thank you for sharing and have a wonderful Saturday!

DeleteDear Eileen,
ReplyDeleteI think in Ireland you never really know where the right side of the fence is ;-DDD Reading your post today brought back many beautiful memories of Ireland. And I'm very happy about the sight of the animals - especially the cute alpacas, donkeys and sheep ❤️
I wish you a wonderful September!

DeleteFurry creatures rule here. Scenic and serene vistas!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sharon for the link and comment. Have a great day and week ahead.
DeleteYes, I`m late again, dear Eileen. Our weekend was very busy. But for me it`s important to read each post with enough time, to appreciate the work in it.
ReplyDeleteI love the little donkeys too. It´s such a sweet scene indeed. They are typical for Ireland. And of course some other critters. But the donkeys have an importance there for the tourists now and in the history for the farm work.
Thank you for hosting.
Have a very good week, hugs by Heidrun
Thank Heidrun! I appreciate the comment and visit. Have a great day and week ahead.
DeleteHello Eileen, I so enjoyed all the pretty photos, I'm another who adores donkeys. I often wonder what they actually do these days, the poor dears. Hope you had a lovely Labor Day weekend.
