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. 

While we were walking along the harbor I noticed the Rook's nest , a group collecting in the tree top is called a rookery. 

I watched these two Black Guillemot or are they called Common Murre floating in the Portmagee harbor. 

Thanks to YAM and Margaret for the Black Guillemot confirmation. 

A walk among the sheep, is someone on the wrong side of the fence?

Our driver/guide made an extra stop at the Kerry Cliffs, it is similar to the Cliffs of Moher with gorgeous scenic views.  It was hard deciding which way to walk on the cliffs, to the right or left.  I went left and hubby went to the right. 

Next to our parking area we enjoyed these cute critters.  These two donkeys looked like they were hugging each other, very cute.

I love the cute alpacas, there were three different colored alpacas standing close together. 

The Killarney National Park  was the last stop for the day before heading to our lodging for the next two nights in Killarney. 

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!

1. May 9th-10th, nearing the end of our time in Clifden. On this day we stopped at various places, the Connemara National Park. We had time to check out the park's visitor center, we hiked in the rain on the nature trail past a few waterfalls, we saw lots of wild garlic, bluebells and the Pied Wagtail.

2. Next we were at the Kylemore Abbbey and Gardens, a small bus took us to the near by gardens. We spent some time walking around the garden paths. 

3.  Kylemore Abbey tour, a beautiful setting with the lake in front and mountains behind the Abbey. 

4.  Kylemore Abbey Chapel and nature trail, we spent enough time here we had a nice lunch in the cafe and a walk on the nature trail and time to check out the chapel. I heard more birds than I could see along this nature trail.

5.  My first sighting of a Dunnock, seen on the grounds of the Kylemore Abbey. We lucked out with the sunshine on this day.  

6. This Eurasian Robin landed on a picnic table next to my hubby.

7. Back on the road, the sheep were on the wrong side of the fence. 

May 10th , next we were driving along on the Wild Atlantic Way heading to Galway and our Doolin B&B called Churchfield.  More Ireland scenes, birds and photos coming soon.
