May 8-9th, Ireland continued, this day we left Westport, stops along the way at the holy mountain Croagh Patrick and St. Patrick statue overlook, the Great Famine sculpture and arriving later in the day in the town of Clifden. 

1. Croagh Patrick is name of a religious site and mountain in the Republic of Ireland, we walked up the trail just as far as the statue of Saint Patrick, Eurasian Robin, invasive fuchsia, Great Famine Monument, cows, Murrisk Abbey, Barn Swallow and more cows. 

The striking coffin ship, emigrants fleeing the famine.

2. The Eurasian Robin was one of my favorites birds to see in Ireland.  They are so darn cute! 

3. The Barn Swallows were flying around the  Murrisk Abbey, there was a cow farm right next door to the ruins. 

4.  The cows were a friendly bunch of critters, some walked over close to the fence. 

5. Love this cute face, I think he/she wanted a treat.  

6. These are some scenes taken during a walk from our Clifden hotel. There was a pretty cascade, the Chaffinch was hanging around the water, a sweet lamb and sheep and horse on the hill, some wildflowers.

7. A pretty male Chaffinch.  

8. The little lamb was adorable, I love the black face and legs.

9. Sheep on a hill with trees leaning to the side, possibly from the wind.

10. The horse was in the same field with the sheep above. 

11. This bird kind of gets lost standing on the rocks with leaves hanging down around it, I am sure it is a Grey Wagtail.
