Swifts

Swifts have been flying over my garden for the past few weeks. I have been trying to take photos of them but it is really difficult as they are so fast. Here are some photos.

Ravens at Scrabo

Today I went to Scrabo to see the nesting ravens. A buzzard got too close and was soon chased off. Here are some photos.
